| Description | NASA LaRC has established a new protocol for visualizing the nanomaterials in structural polymer matrix resins. Using this new technique and reconstructing the 3D distribution of the nanomaterials allows us to compare this distribution against a theoretically perfect distribution. Additional tertiary structural information can now be obtained and quantified with the electron tomography studies. These tools will be necessary to establish the structural-functional relationships between the nano and the bulk. This will also help define the critical length scales needed for functional properties. Field ready tool development and calibration can begin by using these same samples and comparing the response. i.e. gold standards of good and bad dispersion. |
