This is an extension of the Fellowship: 'NEMESIS' (New Mathematics for Materials Modelling in the Engineering Sciences and Industrial Sectors).Advanced materials sit at the heart of modern technology and are at the forefront of many improvements in quality of life. Key to enhancing material properties is a deep understanding of the link from microstructure to macroscale properties. This requires a diverse range of science including theoretical modelling, computational simulation and experimentation. This Fellowship Extension project sits at the triple point of these approaches and principally, uses the experience of the team, in particular in advanced mathematical modelling in order to design new materials for a range of applications. Three themes will be considered, "Reinforced syntactic foams", "Acoustic metamaterials" and "Thermal metamaterials" and a programme of Public Engagement will illustrate the research to a wide audience. Syntactic foams offer stiff, lightweight materials with strong recoverability, even after significant loading. This theme will investigate the ability of reinforcements including families of 2D materials and other micro and nano fillers in order to enhance stiffness whilst maintaining weight and recoverability. Iteration between models and experiments will ensure that optimise properties are determined. Applications are in marine structures, although a very well-publicised use of syntactic foams was in the football used in the 2006 world cup!Acoustic metamaterials are providing us with new way to manipulate sound. This theme builds on the recent work of the principal investigator's team where, together with an industrial partner he developed and subsequently built microstructured materials that were able to simultaneously slow down sound and also ensure that sound could penetrate the structure. This is a highly non-trivial task and the realisation of such a medium means that it can now potentially be employed in applications where it is important to manipulate sound. Classical examples are in sound attenuation devices, which using this approach could be made more compact. This theme will therefore look to better the designs using more complex microstructures and utilise the medium in more complex geometries. Thermal metamaterials are new media that look to manipulate heat flow and temperature fields. Research so been to direct thermal fields so that regions of space fare protected from high temperatures. In many applications associated with thermal efficiency, it is important to ensure uniform temperature distributions in electronic devices or regions of space within those devices. This is difficult to achieve in complex geometries. This project will look to design and realise new thermal metamaterials whose aim is to be deployed in specific complex geometries in order to ensure thermal uniformity and therefore enhanced heat dissipation and thus improved energy efficiency.The public engagement theme will use results from the original Fellowship of the PI, together with new results from the Extension in order to devise a programme of public engagement with the specific remit of widening participation in Mathematics, Science and Engineering. This will be achieved by devising talks and events aimed at School children, using stands and exhibitions at Science fairs, national competitions and web and social media presence in order to reach out to as broad a community as possible. This inter-disciplinary project is ideal for this in the sense that it sits many academic fields, with its core in Applied Mathematics but employing ideas from Materials Science, Chemistry, Engineering and Physics in order to achieve its goals.

这是该奖学金的延伸："NEMESIS"（工程科学和工业部门材料建模的新数学）。先进材料是现代技术的核心，也是许多生活质量改善的前沿。提高材料性能的关键是深入理解从微观结构到宏观性能的联系。这需要各种科学，包括理论建模，计算模拟和实验。该研究金延期项目位于这些方法的三重点，主要利用团队的经验，特别是在高级数学建模方面，以便为一系列应用设计新材料。三个主题将被考虑，“增强复合泡沫塑料”，“声学超材料”和“热超材料”和公众参与的方案将说明研究的广大观众。复合泡沫提供坚硬、轻质的材料，即使在显著负载后也具有很强的可恢复性。本主题将研究增强材料的能力，包括2D材料和其他微米和纳米填料的家庭，以提高刚度，同时保持重量和可恢复性。模型和实验之间的迭代将确保确定优化的属性。应用在海洋结构，虽然一个非常广为宣传的使用复合泡沫塑料是在足球使用在2006年世界杯!声学超材料为我们提供了一种操纵声音的新方法。这一主题建立在首席研究员团队最近的工作基础上，他与一个工业合作伙伴一起开发并随后建造了微结构材料，这些材料能够同时减缓声音并确保声音可以穿透结构。这是一个非常重要的任务，实现这样一种媒介意味着它现在可以潜在地应用于对声音进行操纵很重要的应用中。经典的例子是声音衰减装置，使用这种方法可以使其更紧凑。因此，这个主题将寻求使用更复杂的微结构来改善设计，并在更复杂的几何形状中利用介质。热超材料是一种新的介质，可以操纵热流和温度场。研究人员一直在引导热场，使太空区域免受高温的影响。在与热效率相关的许多应用中，重要的是确保电子设备或这些设备内的空间区域中的均匀温度分布。这在复杂的几何形状中很难实现。该项目将设计和实现新的热超材料，其目的是部署在特定的复杂几何形状中，以确保热均匀性，从而增强散热，从而提高能源效率。公众参与主题将使用PI最初的研究成果，我们将继续与推广计划的新成果一起，制定一项公众参与计划，具体目标是扩大数学、科学和工程学的参与。这将通过设计针对在校儿童的讲座和活动，利用科学博览会，国家竞赛和网络和社交媒体的展台和展览来实现，以便尽可能广泛地接触社区。这个跨学科的项目是理想的，因为它位于许多学术领域，其核心是应用数学，但采用材料科学，化学，工程和物理的想法，以实现其目标。
