Sentences with phrase «in nanocomposite»

Working with a team of researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, Demkowicz investigated how helium behaves in nanocomposite solids, materials made of stacks of thick metal layers.

In nanocomposite solids, materials made of stacks of thick metal layers, rather than making bubbles, helium forms long channels, resembling veins in living tissues.

Demkowicz and his collaborators believe that helium may move through the networks of veins that form in their nanocomposites, eventually exiting the material without causing any further damage.

Kumar's group, experts in tuning the structure and therefore the properties of polymer nanocomposites, found that, by mixing nanoparticles in a solution of polymers (polyethylene oxide) and changing the crystallization speed by varying the degree of sub-cooling (namely how far below the melting point the crystallization was conducted), they could control how the nanoparticles self - assembled into three different scale regimes: nano, micro, and macro-meter.

While researchers focusing on polymer nanocomposites have achieved facile control of nanoparticle organization in an amorphous polymer matrix (i.e. the polymer does not crystallize), to date no one has been able to tune nanoparticle assembly in a crystalline polymer matrix.

With sufficiently intense laser pulses, it may also be possible to release ions, which are charged atoms, from the nanocomposite, resulting in strongly directed ion radiation for cancer therapy.

In addition, SCFs are used to attach other chemicals to the carbon nanotubes to form the nanocomposites.
