A Novel Multilevel Modelling Framework to Design Diamond Nanothread Bundles

该项目旨在开发一种新颖的，基于计算的框架，以PI在2014年合成的金刚石纳米线为基础，优化和有效地设计新的纤维材料。CIs（和其他材料）已经证明了这些材料取代普通碳纤维的巨大前景。提出的框架将结合先进的计算机建模、统计学习、基于遗传算法的优化设计和实验验证。它将加速这些新型碳基纤维的设计，使其在广泛的领域成为改变游戏规则的材料。最终，该项目有可能带来巨大的经济效益，并将澳大利亚置于未来工业革命的前沿。

This project aims to develop a novel, computationally-based framework to optimally and efficiently design new fibre materials based on the diamond nanothreads synthesized by the PI in 2014. The CIs (and others) have demonstrated the tremendous promise these materials hold to replace common carbon fibres. The proposed framework will combine advanced computer modelling, statistical learning, genetic algorithm-based optimal design and experimental validations. It will accelerate the design of these new carbon-based fibres as game-changing materials in a wide range of areas. Ultimately this project has the potential to deliver significant economic benefits and will place Australia at the forefront of the industrial revolution of the future.
