Engineering of 2D and 3D nanostructured hybrid composites for enhanced mechanical properties
Bongjun Yeom
Myonji University, Republic of Korea
We can learn how nature produces hierarchical micro-nanostructures for realization of specific functions. Superb
mechanical properties as well as unique optical properties can be distinguished examples. These examples have inspired
researchers to develop and design new artificial materials. Structural organization with parallel stacking of nanosheets was
found in internal structure of nacre of abalone shell and it presents strong and tough mechanical properties. On the other
hand, the vertically orientation of nanostructures are also ubiquitous in biocomposites such as teeth and seashells. In this
presentation, two types of nanocomposites will be presented, planar shaped nanocomposites with silica layer and vertically
oriented nanocomposites with ZnO nanopillars. We demonstrated that 2D and 3D structural organization of nanomaterials
can show enhancements of mechanical properties which can exceed limit of conventional nanocomposites.
