#New composite protects from corrosion at high mechanical stress (Nanowerk News) Material researchers at the INM Leibniz Institute for New Materials will be presenting a composite material
New composite protects from corrosion at high mechanical stress. This patented composite exhibits its action by spray application,
explains Carsten Becker-Willinger, Head of the Nanomers Program Division. The key is the structuring of this layer-the protective particles arrange themselves like roof tiles.
the composite adheres to the metal substrate, is abrasion-stable and impact-resistant. As a result, it can withstand high mechanical stress.
The composite can be applied by spraying or other commonly used wet chemistry processes and cures at 150-200c.

#Pimp up my nacre (Nanowerk News) Nacre, or mother of pearl, has highly attractive mechanical properties but cannot be processed into larger-scale structures.
Synthetic nanocomposites can mimic the characteristic brick -and-mortar-like structure of nacre, but combinations of stiffness, strength, toughness and desirable optical properties have remained difficult to achieve.
Scientists based in Aachen, Germany, report in the journal Angewandte Chemie("Hierarchical Nacre Mimetics with Synergistic Mechanical Properties by Control of Molecular Interactions in Self-Healing Polymers")that the introduction of tailored hydrogen bonds in the polymer
mortar by macromolecular engineering leads to an unprecedented combination of the relevant properties, which are perfectly tunable.
In nature, nacre is made a nanocomposite of layers of inorganic microtablets laminated by different biopolymers that stabilize the architecture.
Mankind has used always nacre for decorative purposes, but could not exploit it industrially, despite its generally favorable mechanical properties.
and tweak the nacre nanocomposite structure for possible mechanical and functional applications. Focusing on the laminating polymer phase,

#Transparent artificial nacre: A brick wall at the nanoscale Natural materials have extraordinary mechanical properties,
Scientists have developed now a nacre-inspired nanocomposite that combines exceptional mechanical properties with glass-like transparency and a high gas-and fire-barrier.
The structure of nacre resembles a brick wall at the microscopic scale: Calcium carbonate platelets('bricks')alternate with soft biopolymer layers('mortar'.
Previous approaches to synthesize nacre-mimetics were not feasible on the large scale due to energy-intensive and laborious multistep procedures.
Also, it was not possible to synthesize transparent nacre-mimetic films and foils. Andreas Walther and his team decided to use synthetic nanoclays for their nacre-mimetic materials.
This significantly improved the material's transparency. The Aachen-based research group also refined the underlying preparation procedure"Mussels grow nacre in a lengthy process.
For our nanocomposites, we instead apply a rapid self-assembly process, "the chemist explains. First, the researchers coat the clays with a layer of polyvinylalcohol('mortar on the brick')and subsequently,
"The nacre-mimetics based on small clays are very tough. However, if we use large clays with an aspect ratio of 3500,
the resulting nacre-mimetics are both extremely stiff and strong. Their mechanical properties actually reach close to those of fiber composites,
which are far more laborious to prepare, "says Phd student Paramita Das. The glass-like transparency and the high gas barrier of the nanocomposite are an extra benefit of the material.
This outstanding combination of features makes the nacre-mimetic material a promising candidate for future applications,
""The composite post geometry,"Turner said, "achieves the same effect as the mushroom shape. The soft rubber conforms to the roughness of the surface,
