Abstract Scope |
Extreme environment materials often withstand harsh conditions such as high temperatures and reactive atmospheres. To achieve such potential, it is indispensable to design advanced materials and assemble them into hierarchical structural forms, which requires fundamental understanding of chemical processes in materials transformation and manufacturing paradigm shift across multiple length scales from the atomic to the macroscopic. In this talk, I will discuss materials design and transformative manufacturing to tailor ceramic materials at nanoscale, enabling unique disparate functionalities for extreme environments (i.e., lightweight, superinsulation and mechanically robust ceramics). |
