Transparent Plastic as Strong as Steel?
October 22, 2007
Gizmag reports that researchers at the University of Michigan have used nanoscale fabrication techniques to create a light-weight transparent composite plastic that’s as strong as steel.
The interdisciplinary team of scientists solved a problem that has confounded engineers and scientists for decades: individual nano-size building blocks such as nanotubes, nanosheets and nanorods are ultrastrong, but larger […]
