Extremely lightweight and superelastic cellular materials

该项目旨在合成新一代极轻，超弹性但机械坚固的石墨烯基蜂窝材料，开发新的策略，用其他功能聚合物或纳米颗粒对其进行增强和功能化，并探索新技术，以增强其独特的机械，电气和热性能，用于一系列潜在的应用。所获得的新知识将大大促进我们对极轻和多功能蜂窝材料以及石墨烯基块状材料的理解。预计项目成果将有助于从天然石墨中产生高附加值的技术应用。

This project aims to synthesise a new generation of extremely lightweight, superelastic yet mechanically robust graphene-based cellular materials, develop new strategies to strengthen and functionalise them with other functional polymers or nanoparticles, and explore new techniques to characterise their unique mechanical, electrical and thermal properties for a range of potential applications. The new knowledge obtained would significantly advance our understanding of extremely lightweight and multifunctional cellular materials as well as graphene-based bulk materials. Project outcomes are expected to help generate high value-added technological applications from natural graphite.
