Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Workshop 2010

University of Cincinnati, Monday, October 4, 2010

Great Hall, Tangeman University Center Overview. This intensive one-day single track workshop consists of a keynote lecture,

15 invited talks, plus lab tours. The workshop covers the synthesis, functionalization, characterization, modeling, post processing, and application of carbon nanostructured materials and devices. The goal of the workshop is to benchmark where we are now and to discuss where we should be headed to make breakthroughs in engineering materials and devices based on nanotechnology. The electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and spun thread are of particular interest. The workshop will provide opportunities to establish cooperative research and to intersect different ideas in order to break down barriers in nanotechnology. There will also be a talk on nanotechnology education. The basic registration fee for the workshop is nano (no fee). Registration as a sponsor of the workshop is $495 and provides an advertisement in the workshop proceedings and advertisement at the workshop. A light breakfast and snacks are provided. There is a fee for parking ($9.50). Lunch is available at different restaurants and dining halls at the workshop location (cost is $7-$12). A workshop proceedings CD containing powerpoint presentations and photographs from the workshop will be provided to all participants. Confidential information should not be presented at the workshop. No taping or recording of the presentations is permitted. Submit the registration form by email attachment to Luree Blythe (blythela@ucmail.uc.edu).

Agenda 8:00 AM. Welcome by Thomas Mantei, Director, UC Institute for Nanoscale S&T 8:10-8:50 AM. Keynote Lecture by Professor Ray Baughman:

The Diverse and Growing Family of Carbon Nanotube and Related Artificial Muscles

Ray H. Baughman

The Alan G. MacDiarmid NanoTech Institute, University of Texas at Dallas, TX 75083, USA

ABSTRACT

Collaborative work with colleagues at the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Wollongong, the University of British Columbia, and Hanyang University has expanded the family of carbon nanotube artificial muscles from our original double-layer driven tensile muscles to pneumatic muscles, fuel driven muscles, giant stroke aerogel muscles, and even muscles that provide torsional actuation. These muscles, as well as carbon nanotube muscles demonstrated by others, are here described. Extreme performance is demonstrated, like for our aerogel muscles that generate giant strokes and stroke rates of 220% and 3.7 x 104 %/s, respectively, from near 0 K to over 1900 K; electrochemical muscles that generate a hundred times the tensile stress of natural muscle; and torsional muscles that rotate at up to 600 revolutions per minute and provide a hundred times higher rotation per unit length than previous torsional muscles. The properties of these electrically powered muscles, and related fuel powered muscles, are described and theoretically explained.
