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

Abstract:
In recent decades there has been an emergence of functionalized nanoscale porous materials that offer exciting solutions for many applications. Such materials combine traditional advantages of porous media with new size-dependent effects that appear when the characteristic length scale of approaches the nanoscale. Such size effects strongly affect physical properties of the material and represent a new parameter space for optimizing material properties. At the same time, they also invalidate traditionally used structure-property relations derived for low density macroscopic porous metals. In this talk, an overview will be given of the recent work on synthesis, mechanical properties, and applications of nanoporous metals with particular attention given to hierarchical nanocrystalline metals. Applications that take advantage of the very high surface to volume ratios of nanoporous metals include durable, highly active catalysts, high energy density electrodes for batteries, or high power and high temperature die-attached interconnects for microelectronics packaging. New approaches to experimental investigations of mechanical behavior will be described, including in-situ nanomechanical tests combined with modeling.
Biography:
Antonia Antoniou is an Associate Professor at the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Antoniou is an Editor for the Journal of Materials Science and is the recipient of the 2015 National Science Foundation CAREER award. Dr. Antoniou’s group has received best poster awards at Gordon, ASME and ECTC conferences. In the summer of 2017, Dr. Antoniou was a visiting professor at the Institute of Materials Science at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Dr. Antoniou’s research is focused on the mechanics of nanostructured materials and specifically in establishing linkages between deformation mechanisms and macroscale response. The material systems of interest have applications in energy, medical, microelectronics packaging fields.
Reception at 2:45 p.m. in the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Atrium
