Incorporating Nanotechnology into Undergraduate Education
A new course in nanoscale mechanics for engineering students was recently taught at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Mechanics enters a new regime at the nanoscale, where the effects of surfaces, interfaces, defects, material property variations, and quantum effects are accentuated. This course provided an introduction to nanoscale engineering with a direct focus on the critical role that m...
متن کاملHighly extensible bio-nanocomposite fibers.
Here, we show that a poly(ethylene oxide) polymer can be physically cross-linked with silicate nanoparticles (Laponite) to yield highly extensible, bio-nanocomposite fibers that, upon pulling, stretch to extreme lengths and crystallize polymer chains. We find that both, nanometer structures and mechanical properties of the fibers respond to mechanical deformation by exhibiting strain-induced cr...
متن کاملUndergraduate Laboratory Experience for Ceramics
An appreciation for experimental work and the development of laboratory skills are essential parts of undergraduate materials education. To develop effective laboratory courses in materials, the unique characteristics and properties of ceramics must be considered. Normally, ceramics cannot be produced by the methods commonly used for metals and polymers because ceramics are more refractory and ...
متن کاملShort Cellulose Nanofibril/polyvinyl Alcohol Nanocomposite Fibers
Short cellulose nanofibrils (SCNF) were investigated as a reinforcement for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers. SCNF fibers were mechanically isolated from hard wood pulp after enzymatic pretreatment. Various levels of SCNF were added to PVA and gel-spun into continuous fibers. The molecular orientation of PVA was affected by a combination of wet drawing during gel spinning and post-hot-drawing at ...
متن کاملPolyester Nanocomposite fibers with Antibacterial Properties
Antibacterial nanocomposite polyester (PET) fibres were melt spun by adding nano ZnO loaded Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) master batch (MB) to the PET chips. The influence of content of nano ZnO on the antibacterial properties, crystallization behaviour and mechanical properties was studied. It was found that PET composite fibres having 1 % nano ZnO showed the optimum antibacterial ac...
