报告摘要：

Manufacturing of lightweight, multifunctional composites is a fast-growing industry of enormous importance. Research and advancements have resulted in innovative uses of composites in aerospace, automotive, marine, space and sporting goods industries. Recent discovery and insertion of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, further expand capabilities/potential of composites for multifunctional applications. However, these nanomaterials are relatively new and their manufacturing often involves multiple and complex processing steps. Such issues have created difficulty in scalable manufacturing of nanomaterials with consistent quality, which in turn, has limited the application bases of these new nanomaterials. This presentation will discuss recent progresses in the development of a unique multifunctional nanomaterial, carbon nanotube buckypaper.Special focus of the presentation will be on recent progress of the scalable manufacturing process development and application of physics-based and data-driven models to buckypaper material design and manufacturing.
