HIT made achievements in multifunctional multiscale composite materials
Recently, Advanced Materials published an important achievement made by Harbin Institute Technology (HIT) Astronautics College, composite material and structure research institute Professor He Xiaodong team in the study on multifunctional multiscale composite materials.
The research result « carbon nano tube (CNT) sponge in situ chemical cutting preparation of graphene nanoribbon aerogel » is mainly carried out by PhD student Peng Qingyu under the common guidance of Professor He Xiaodong and Professor Li Yibin.
Graphene nanoribbon has the similar structure in comparison with that of graphene. It has a shape of strip that has excellent mechanical and electrical properties. It is an ideal reinforcement composite material. However, due to size effect, the graphene nanoribbons is very easily to be reunion in the form of composite matrix. Therefore, it can not effectively play the unique advantage that the graphene nanoribbons should have.
