Ultralight metal foams
Ultralight (<10 mg/cm3) cellular materials are desirable for thermal insulation; battery electrodes; catalyst supports; and acoustic, vibration, or shock energy damping. However, most of these ultralight materials, especially ultralight metal foams, are fabricated using either expensive materials or complicated procedures, which greatly limit their large-scale production and practical applicati...
متن کاملUltralight anisotropic foams from layered aligned carbon nanotube sheets.
In this work, we present large scale, ultralight aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) structures which have densities an order of magnitude lower than CNT arrays, have tunable properties and exhibit resiliency after compression. By stacking aligned sheets of carbon nanotubes and then infiltrating with a pyrolytic carbon (PyC), resilient foam-like materials were produced that exhibited complete recover...
متن کاملUltralight, ultrastiff mechanical metamaterials.
The mechanical properties of ordinary materials degrade substantially with reduced density because their structural elements bend under applied load. We report a class of microarchitected materials that maintain a nearly constant stiffness per unit mass density, even at ultralow density. This performance derives from a network of nearly isotropic microscale unit cells with high structural conne...
متن کاملUltralight Cellular Composite Materials with Architected Geometrical Structure
In this paper we present a novel computational approach to predict the overall hyperelastic mechanical properties of ultralight cuboct cellular lattices made of brittle carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites, such as the ones recently fabricated at the MIT Media Lab-Center for Bits and Atoms. These architected cellular composites, by combining both the specific features of composite materia...
متن کاملUltralight Weight Optical Systems using Nano-Layered Synthesized Materials
Optical imaging is important for many NASA science missions. Even though complex optical systems have advanced, the optics, based on conventional glass and mirrors, require components that are thick, heavy and expensive. As the need for higher performance expands, glass and mirrors are fast approaching the point where they will be too large, heavy and costly for spacecraft, especially small sat...
