High Performance Macromolecular Materials

Abstract

This contract targeted mathematical and computational underpinnings of a predictive capability for high performance, nano-composite materials. The overall goal is to develop theory, models, and numerical algorithms for the processing pipeline, starting with composite information, through flow processing, and finally to multi-functional property characterization. The materials considered are nano-rods and nano-clays in aqueous and polymeric solvents, which are flight technology targets for high performance properties ranging from electrical, thermal, mechanical, and permeability. Significant progress has occurred in the theory and models for flow processing and effective properties, in the analysis, numerical algorithms and simulations of the models, and in scientific understanding of nano-composite materials.
