Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Dr. Zhong Zhang is a leading expert in the field of structure-property relationships of polymer composites. In the past several years he has worked at some top level institutions on low-temperature properties of these materials. Part of his results on failure processes in resins were of importance to support the design of large (11m diameter) superconducting magnets for the Atlas experiment at CERN. The objective of his new project is to investigate the long-term behavior of short fibre composites finally leading to an accelerative use of these materials in various industrial applications, especially related to the modern field of hydrogen technology. Artificial neutral networks will also be used in this project to predict the performance of these materials as a function of their compoisitons and testing conditions. It is expected that in the near future people can drive their new generation cars powered by the clean and renewable liquid hydrogen. The achievment of this project will definitely contribute to the safe utilization of this new energy source.
