Workshop on Nanocomposites

Abstract

This report summaries the workshop held on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University September 12-13, 2001. The report consists of notes taken during the workshop by an appointed scribe that briefly describe the workshop format, and then summaries, in bullet form, the discussions that occurred. A list of attendees concludes this report. In order to facilitate a coherent discussion throughout the workshop and to define Air Force's nanomechanics research needs/goals, the speakers were requested in advance to tailor their presentations to address the following topics/categories 1. Value and benefits of nanocomposites (observed and expected potential), 2. Modeling at the nano level (benefits, limits, and new technologies/techniques requirements), 3. Testing at the nano level (benefits, limits, and new technologies/techniques requirements), 4. Materials to explore in near term, long term, and 5. Strategy for the mechanics/composites community.
