项目摘要

0436642ChandraThis three-year US-France cooperative research project between Namas Chandra of Florida State University and Jean-Francois Silvain of the Institut de Chimie de la Matiere Condensee de Bordeaux is aimed at developing carbon-copper nanocomposite materials with advanced thermal properties. Intellectual MeritThe electronic and power industries require devices that exhibit adjustable thermal properties and mechanical strength/stiffness to withstand external and heat induced stresses. Carbon fiber based copper matrix materials have been widely used in those industries. However, the use of carbon nanotubes instead of carbon fibers offers opportunities to improve properties of these materials. The proposal addresses the issue of how to manufacture copper composites embedded with carbon nanotubes. The investigators propose to use numerical and experimental methods to achieve this objective. Broader ImpactsThis international partnership takes advantage of combined expertise to resolve the problem of creating and modeling "extreme" composites with carbon nanotubes. Theory, modeling and simulations will be carried out at Florida State University, while the French group will conduct the experimental work. The proposed research will advance understanding of the thermo-mechanical properties needed to create to novel materials for use by the electronic and power industries. Education aspects involve training of US students in the experimental techniques developed by the French researchers.

0436642Chandra 这个为期三年的美法合作研究项目由佛罗里达州立大学的 Namas Chandra 和波尔多康登湖马蒂埃化学研究所的 Jean-Francois Silvain 合作，旨在开发具有先进热性能的碳-铜纳米复合材料。智力优势电子和电力行业需要具有可调节热性能和机械强度/刚度的设备，以承受外部和热引起的应力。碳纤维基铜基材料已广泛应用于这些行业。然而，使用碳纳米管代替碳纤维为改善这些材料的性能提供了机会。该提案解决了如何制造嵌入碳纳米管的铜复合材料的问题。研究人员建议使用数值和实验方法来实现这一目标。更广泛的影响这一国际合作伙伴关系利用综合专业知识来解决用碳纳米管创建和建模“极端”复合材料的问题。理论、建模和模拟将在佛罗里达州立大学进行，而法国小组将进行实验工作。拟议的研究将增进对电子和电力行业使用的新型材料所需的热机械性能的理解。教育方面包括对美国学生进行法国研究人员开发的实验技术的培训。
