Development and Characterization of High Performance Nanostructured Materials for the Support of Warfighters.
Abstract
The goal and objectives are to develop and characterize new nano-reinforced composites that have applications in body armor, infrastructure protection, transparent armor, and multifunctional composites that have imbedded sensing elements. This project will also provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in innovative polymer, composites, and materials science research; as well as enhance the research environment at Clark Atlanta University, especially in materials chemistry and physics. To maintain a competitive edge, the United States needs integrated research and development (R&D) centers in academia that collaborate with their counterparts in government and industry.
