Welcome to the second seminar in the series “Material Matters” with Dr Chandra Sekhar Tiwary, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Indien:
"Engineering materials at the atomic scale for developing 3D-printed complex architectures for sustainable energy and environmental applications".
Overview
- Date:Starts 18 June 2024, 10:00Ends 18 June 2024, 11:00
- Location:MC2 Kollektorn Kemivägen 9. Floor 4. Room A423. Chalmers Campus, Johanneberg, Göteborg.
- Language:English
Taking inspiration from graphene, the materials community started exploring atomically thin materials, which resulted in the development of a two-dimensional (2D) materials family consisting of elemental metals, metal carbides, dichalcogenide, oxide, nitride, and others. Engineering such atomically thin materials is different from conventional materials.
The talk will summarize various methods and processes used to engineer materials at the atomic scale. In the first section, the exfoliation of 2D materials from their bulk phase and tuning of their composition, thickness, and other physical, chemical, and optical properties will be discussed. Atomically engineered topological complex architectures have been 3D printed. Such architectures exhibit superior structural and functional properties.
The concluding section will discuss the adoption of nature-inspired processes to develop advanced and unique materials through energy-efficient methods. The bio-inspired 3D printed using 2D materials have been utilized in the environment, energy, and health care.
