There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: Lightweight Carbon Nanotube Buckypaper Material for Multifunctional Applications
SPEAKER: Chuck Zhang
ABSTRACT:
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, auto, 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. This seminar will present some recent development on buckypaper, a thin carbon nanotube membrane material. The presentation will focus on the manufacturing and multifunctional applications of buckypaper.
