Strain Matching Enabled Composite Design for Exceptional Mechanical Prowess

本项目旨在开发具有优异机械性能的相变基质-纳米片层复合材料。镶嵌在相变基复合材料中的纳米线实现了超大的弹性应变(约6%)，因此具有超高的强度。该项目的目标是在这一发现的基础上，通过创新的材料加工创造晶格应变匹配的纳米片层复合材料，从而超越纳米线复合材料的限制。预期的结果可能导致设计和创造具有非凡机械性能的金属复合材料，并开发出接近应用的复合材料制造技术。

This project intends to develop phase-transforming matrix-nanolamellar composites of exceptional mechanical properties. Nanowires embedded in phase-transforming matrix composites achieve ultra-large elastic strains (around 6 per cent), thus ultra-high strengths. This project aims to build on this discovery and transcend the limitations of the nanowire composites by creating lattice-strain-matching enabled nanolamellar composites via innovative materials processing. The expected outcomes may lead to the design and creation of metallic composites of exceptional mechanical prowess and the development of close-to-application technology for fabrication of the composite materials.
