Novel functional materials based on nanoporous metals
  • Date: Feb 9, 2012
  • Time: 02:30 PM - 03:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Weißmüller
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Weißmüller, head of the Institute of Materials Physics at the Hamburg University of Technology and head of the Hybride Materials Systems group at the Helmholtz-Center Geesthacht will hold a seminar talk at the MPIE on novel functional materials based on nanoporous metals.
  • Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH
  • Room: Seminar Room 1
Nanoporous metals prepared by the corrosion of an alloy can take the form of monolithic, millimeter-sized bodies containing approximately 1015 nanoscale ligaments per cubic millimeter. Their structure size can reach down to the very limits of stability of nanoscale objects. The prospect of using ... [more]
