IAPG Mechanical Working Group (MWG) “Thermal Materials for Harsh Environments” Virtual Meeting 2025

December 4, 2025

The Interagency Advanced Power Group (IAPG) Mechanical Working Group (MWG) “Thermal Materials for Harsh Environments” Technical Deep Dive Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, December 4, 2025. The meeting is being held virtually in Microsoft Teams.

Meeting Goals

The IAPG works to share information and improve the effectiveness of interagency research and development (R&D) programs across a broad range of advanced power technologies. The Thermal Panel of the Mechanical Working Group is hosting a forum to review cross-cutting current government research activities in thermal materials for harsh environments. Although IAPG member agencies — the Army, Navy, Air Force, Department of Energy, NASA and the Department of Transportation — operate in widely different environments, there are clear opportunities for increased collaboration.

Meeting Attendees

Attendance is limited to U.S. government employees only.

Meeting Registration

Pre-registration is required.

The deadline for registration is Friday, November 21, 2025.

Overall Agenda

While the agenda is preliminary and subject to change, the Thermal Panel has planned the following overall agenda:

Agency Presentations will focus on the following topics (other relevant topics will be considered):

• Definition of “harsh environments” as established by agency
• Identified research and development (R&D) gaps in thermal materials
• Opportunities for collaboration
• Ongoing and upcoming work in this area

Presentations

An electronic copy of your presentation in MS PowerPoint or Adobe PDF format should be sent to Renee O’Brokta, IAPG Support Specialist, at renee.obrokta@nasa.gov, no later than November 25, 2025.
