Next Generation of Nanocomposite Materials Introduced

Nanotechnologists in Manoa’s College of Engineering have developed a multifunctional nanocomposite material using carbon nanotube forest-grown ceramic fiber cloths. Their research article appeared in the May 7 online edition of Nature Materials. The UH researchers on this project are Professor Mehrdad Ghasemi-Nejhad, Assistant Professor Anyuan Cao, Assistant Researcher Kougen Ma and doctoral student Vinod Veedu.

The research team demonstrated one of the best ways to develop carbon nanotube-based composite materials. In doing so, they addressed various issues and concerns in both traditional composite materials and carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites. Read more.
