Σύνοψη

The proposed initiative will establish a multidisciplinary program on the thermochemical processing (powder synthesis and conversion), deposition and/or consolidation of nanophase composites.
The program will focus on three aims: (a) producing metal-metal and metal-ceramic amorphous and nanostructured powders, (b) development of nanostructured coating and consolidation application parameters for superior mechanical, thermal performance and (c) producing custom materials to specification in partnership with our industrial partners.
The initiation of this project falls within the activities of the Nanomaterials Research Center (NRC), a newly established center at HTI which serves as a bridge for technology transfer between HTI and the technology users (industry at large). The primary mission of NRC is to develop new methods for the economical production of nanostructured metals, ceramics, and their composites.
Under this center, two operating divisions have been established, each with its own application goal(s) and commercialization strategy: (1) nanopowder synthesis, which is commercializing high rate production of non-agglomerated nanoparticles and (2) large area deposition of coatings and consolidation of net-shaped parts. Both of the divisions focus on the commercialization of advanced materials processes for enhanced mechanical and thermal properties.
Current programs are focused on methods for the production of nanostructured powders, nanophase coatings (wear resistant surfaces, thermal barriers, selective surfaces for solar thermal and photovoltaic fabrications, semi-permeable membranes) and nanophase composites (gas turbine engines, bulletproofvests and porous membranes).
