New European Network On Nanostructured Polymers And Nanocomposites.

June 17, 2004 - The European Commission recently approved financing in the amount of Euro6,6 million for the Network of Excellence "NANOFUN-POLY" on "Multifunctional Nanostructured Polymers and Nanocomposite Materials" in the priority Nanotechnology and Multifunctional Materials of the 6th Framework Programme. The Network,s main objective will be to form a European Centre of Excellence in functional and structural polymer-based nanomaterials. It will be run by Prof. Jos M. Kenny from the University of Perugia (Italy), who will coordinate research activities and the spreading and

  • Clay-filled 'nanocomposites' offer extraordinary properties.
    • They are generating a lot of excitement despite the secrecy surrounding their development. They are said to exhibit dramatic improvements in mechanical, thermal, barrier, and flame-retardant properties, all without significant loss of toughness or clarity. These new reinforced plastics, known as nanocomposites, contain very tiny platelets of a special type ......
  • Nanocomposites: a little goes a long way.
    • From auto parts to barrier packaging, the race is on to commercialize nano-clay thermoplastic composites. Just a pinch of these infinitesimally small particles can dramatically raise mechanical, thermal, barrier, and flame-retardant properties. Why all the excitement about the new class of mineral-reinforced plastics known as nanocomposites? Because relatively small amounts ......
  • Nanoscale technology yields better thermal insulators
    • Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created a better thermal insulator by controlling material structure at the nanoscale. Says David Cahill, a professor of materials science and engineering, "Making nanolaminates of dissimilar materials let us significantly cut thermal conductivity because heat cannot pass efficiently across the material interfaces." ......

  • MEASURING THE TINIEST STRUCTURES.
    • Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta have developed a technique to measure the comparative bending strength of individual carbon nanotubes produced by two competing processes. The technique characterizes nanotubes produced by traditional high-temperature carbon arc discharge and nanotubes grown at a lower temperature by catalyst-assisted pyrolysis. Until ......
  • Superhot nanotubes gain strength as they stretch
    • Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Boston College, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a high-temperature (3,600?F) strengthening technique that boosts the strength of single-walled carbon nanotubes by a factor of nearly 2.8. The super-strain can be used to tune electronic properties of the carbon nanotubes for applications ......
