Funded Activity Summary

A Stress Transfer Principle for Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Materials under Complex Loading. Many breakthrough technologies in the future will build upon carbon nanotube reinforced materials but the scientific basis in the area is still unavailable. This project aims to establish a reliable stress transfer principle so that the design, production and application of the materials can be accurately controlled and the great strength of carbon nanotubes can be wisely utilized. The research will resolve a key paradox and develop a series of innovative theories and technologies. The success of the project will make a significant impact on the nanoscience and nanotechnology associated with the applications of carbon nanotube reinforced materials.
