What the webinar will address
Nanomaterials are known to exhibit enhanced mechanical properties relative to their bulk counterparts. The particular impact that nanomaterials have on toughness is, however, not currently well understood.
This talk with Lucas R. Meza, Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington, aims to examine two classes of nanoarchitected materials – Bouligand polymer nanofibers (nano-Bouligand) and gradient spinodal ceramics – to illustrate the powerful role that nanomaterials and structural heterogeneity have in controlling toughness and recoverability.
The talk will be taking place on 26 May from 4–5pm BST via Zoom.
