Tailoring nanocomposites with controllable structural-property relationship

该项目旨在将石墨烯基材料加工和制造成有用的设备。了解纳米复合材料的结构-性能关系是快速开发功能器件的关键。该项目将以纳米复合材料的形式使用石墨烯，并通过三维打印精确地在设备中构建它们。这将通过石墨烯的聚合物化学和界面工程来实现，以增强其在目标聚合物基体中的分散性和自组装性，从而提供最大的协同性能。该项目希望开发三维打印技术，控制和理解微图案和纳米结构对印刷石墨烯纳米复合材料的影响。

This project aims to process and fabricate graphene-based materials into useful devices. Understanding nanocomposite structure-property relationships are crucial to rapidly develop functional devices. This project will use graphene in the form of nanocomposites and precisely construct them in devices via three-dimensional printing. This will be achieved through the polymer chemistry and interfacial engineering of graphene for enhanced dispersibility and self-assembly in the targeted polymer matrix, thus affording maximum synergistic properties. The project expects to develop three-dimensional printing techniques and control and understand the effect of micro-patterning and nano-structuring on printed graphene nanocomposites.
