Research Topic 1: Carbon nanotubes arecylindrical carbon molecules that exhibit
unusual strength and unique electrical properties. The covalent bonding in CNTs
means they have very high tensile strengths. In 2000, a SWNT was tested to hav
e a tensile strength of 63GPa (in comparison, high-carbon steel has a tensile   strength of approximately 1.2GPa).They also have very high elastic modulus,in   the order of 1TPa. Under excessive tensile strain, the tubes will undergo plasti
c deformation, which means the deformationis permanent. This deformation begin
s at strains of approximately 5% and the maximum strain the tube can undergo be
fore fracture can be increased. Despite the highly attractive CNT properties, s
uperior CNT-reinforced composite properties have yet to be seen. Tapping the hi
gh strength of CNT for composites remains illusive. The project is to develop C
NT-based nanocomposites.

1 Postdoc position is available in the area of carbon nanotube composites. Interested candidates must have (a) PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science
or Engineering, Polymer Science or Engineering from a reputable university;(b)
