项目摘要

The ability to create functional items relies on the availability of adequate materials and the access to appropriate tools. The knowledge to exploit fundamental properties of new materials as well as the experience in manipulating tools will allow building of devices that are relevant to our existence or comfort - from simple mechanical structures to highly sophisticated electronics. Therefore, as new materials or novel technologies emerge, new knowledge has to be generated so that the materials or technologies can be utilized for the benefits of the society. Properties and phenomena enabled by the availability of the new materials need to be thoroughly understood and investigated in order to engineer them into functional devices. To this end, there is a strong emergence of nanoengineering due to the increased understanding of micro/nanofabrication and material properties, and an ability to exploit the unique mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of nanomaterials. Equipped with this fundamental understanding of micromachining and nanotechnology, the proposed research program will focus on the development of micro/nanodevices for real-world applications. In this broad translational research, fundamental findings of the properties of nanomaterials such as nanotubes, and graphene from chemistry or materials and chemical engineering labs will be engineered and exploited to create superior prototype devices such as x-ray and ultrasound devices.

创建功能性项目的能力取决于适当的材料的可用性和使用适当的工具的访问。利用新材料的基本属性以及操纵工具的经验的知识将允许构建与我们存在或舒适性相关的设备 - 从简单的机械结构到高度复杂的电子设备。因此，随着新材料或新技术的出现，必须生成新知识，以便可以将材料或技术用于社会的利益。需要对新材料的可用性来实现属性和现象，并需要对其进行彻底理解和调查，以便将其设计到功能设备中。为此，由于对微型/纳米化和材料特性的了解增加，并且能够利用纳米材料的独特机械，电和热性能，因此纳米工程的出现很强。拟议的研究计划配备了对微加工和纳米技术的基本理解，将重点介绍用于现实世界应用的微/纳米版本的开发。在这项广泛的转化研究中，将对纳米材料（例如纳米管）的性质以及化学或材料和化学工程实验室的石墨烯进行基本发现，并利用化学材料和化学工程实验室，以创建X射线和超声设备等优质原型设备。
