Nominator's project description
| Professor L. Catherine Brinson is a distinguished researcher in the international mechanics and material science community, especially in the area of high performance composites, polymer nanocomposites and shape memory alloys. Her research develops understanding through multiscale characterization and modeling of nano, molecular, micro and macroscale material phenomena. The envisioned collaborative work area covers deformation and failure mechanisms in nanotube reinforced polymers and specifically how those are impacted by the chemistry and morphology of the nanotubes. |
