报告摘要：
Bulk nanostructured materials, with structural units (e.g., grains) falling in the nanometer range, have emerged as a new class of materials and received world-wide attention. They are structurally characterized by a significant volume fraction of grain boundaries, which significantly enhances their mechanical and physical properties (e.g., irradiation tolerance) in comparison with those of their conventional coarse-grained counterparts. Nano science and engineering can be utilized to improve performance of materials to enable them for extreme environments such as neutron irradiation and ballistic impact. In this talk, research projects will be discussed involving nano science and engineering in an effort to develop, manufacture and evaluate nanostructured fuels and materials with enhanced performance for neutron irradiation. Bulk nanostructured nuclear fuels and materials will be fabricated using low-cost advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g., equal-channel angular pressing) and assessed for irradiation performance using neutron and ion irradiation. The structures of the fuels and materials will be tailored on the nanometer scale in order to achieve desired properties and performance. Characterization of neutron irradiated nuclear fuels will also be discussed. Furthermore, a nanostructured Al alloy – ceramic particle composite will be described for ballistic impact applications.
