REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar TODAY Oct. 31st @ 12noon in BRK 2001. Babak Anasori from IUPUI will present Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar will be tomorrow Thursday, 10/31 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. Professor Babak Anasori, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Energy Engineering at IUPUI. If you would like to meet with Prof. Anasori during his visit, please let me know your availability for Oct. 31st and I can arrange a time to meet. Babak Anasori<https://et.iupui.edu/people/banasori>, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Energy Engineering at IUPUI will present an overview of his work on 2D Transition Metal Carbides and Nitrides (MXenes): Advances, Challenges, and Opportunities for the first half then the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. 2D Transition Metal Carbides and Nitrides (MXenes): Advances, Challenges, and Opportunities Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, called MXenes, are becoming one of the largest family of 2D materials with more than thirty synthesized compositions [1]. MXenes have shown outstanding performance in many applications including energy storage, catalysis, electromagnetic interference shielding, wireless communication, water purification, sensors, reinforcement in composites, and biomedical applications. In MXenes, n+1 layers of an early transition metal (such as Ti, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, Cr) cover n layers of carbon or nitrogen (n = 1–3), such as Ti2C, Mo2C, Ti3C2, Ta4C3. These 2D metal carbide flakes are covered with surface terminations, such as hydroxyl, oxygen, or fluorine, which add hydrophilicity to MXene surfaces [2]. Most of the synthesized MXenes to date, have high electrical conductivities (e.g., ~10,000 S/cm for Ti3C2), and high elastic properties. For example, the measured Young’s modulus of a Ti3C2 single flake is ~330 GPa, which is the highest among the values reported for other solution-processed 2D materials, including graphene oxide. MXene compositions can be further tuned by the formation of in-plane and out-of-plane atomic ordering when using two transition metals. For example, in Mo2TiC2 a layer of Ti atoms is sandwiched between two layers of Mo in a 2D carbide structure [3]. Such atomic orderings create a significant possibility of tunable 2D compositions, where properties, including electrical, electrochemical, and mechanical, can be tailored at the 2D level. In this talk, I will describe the advances and challenges in the synthesis and fundamental understating of MXenes with a focus on ordered double-transition metal MXenes and present an outlook for several opportunities in this large family of 2D materials. 1.

Bio: Babak Anasori is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering at Purdue School of Engineering and Technology in IUPUI. He received his PhD at Drexel University in 2014 in Materials Science and Engineering, the birth place of MXenes. Babak is one of the co-inventors of ordered double-transition metal MXenes, as a result of his postdoctoral research. His current research focuses on synthesis and characterizations of novel MXenes and their composites. He has co-authored over 100 refereed publications and has received several national and international awards for his research and artistic way of presenting science including NSF/Science Visualization Challenge in 2011 and 2013, Diamond ranking in ACerS Graduate Excellence in Materials Science (GEMS) in 2012, and Materials Research Society (MRS) Postdoctoral Award in 2016. Babak has originated and organized multiple international student competitions, including NanoArtography and Science in Video (SciVid) in the MRS Fall Meetings.

REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar Today, 10/24 @ 12:00pm (Lunch Provided) in BRK 2001 – Presenter is Prof. Miko Cakmak Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar will be today Thursday, 10/24 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. Professor Miko Cakmak will be presenting. Miko Cakmak<https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/birck/directory/profile.php?resource_i…>, Reilly Professor of Materials and Mechanical Engineering will present a brief overview of his work on flexible electronics using Roll to Roll manufacturing for the first half then the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Field Assisted "Z" orientation of Nanophases to Produce Thickness Functionalized films For Flexible Electronics using a New Roll to Roll manufacturing Platform Electric1,2, Magnetic3, and Thermal gradient5,6 fields are three important methods used in Field Assisted Self Assembly (FASA) of polymer blends, block copolymers, liquid crystals and polymer nanocomposites. These assisted assembly techniques have been used in laboratory scale, but for potential applications such as flexible electronics7, membranes8, supercapacitors, fuel cells, photovoltaic’s etc. a large scale manufacturing platform is needed. We introduce a novel roll to roll process developed in our laboratories to achieve "Z-direction" alignment of nanostructural units. A 40ft line was designed which uses a casting system to deposit desired thickness of liquid such as a monomer ,polymer solution as well as melt up to 6" wide on a flexible substrate. The substrate is then carried to an electric field application zone which consists of temperature controlled opposing roll to roll electrodes. The electric field applied can be a DC, AC or a biased AC, hence using the various fields we can maximize the orientation by increasing the dielectric contrast between the particles and the matrix. [MicroCT of 100micrometer thick film with Z aligned Nickel nanoparticle column forest]If orientation and self-assembly through magnetic field is desired, the second tool located downstream is activated. This electromagnet is capable of applying magnetic fields up to 2.2 T to the material supported by a flexible substrate through the opposing poles. This line also contains a movable UV lamp which can be used to freeze the structure of required morphology using photocurable resin after electric field or magnetic field application zones. Electric and magnetic field alignment of particles and polymer chains is studied through real time birefringence measurement, to determine various parameters effecting the orientation of particles/phases inside a polymeric film under the magnetic or electric field. The birefringence system is based on the solution drying process developed in our lab9. In this talk, we will review our recent results on the use of this machine to produce Z-( thickness direction) functional films for capacitors, piezoelectric sensors, nanogenerators and transparent audio speakers10, and piezoresistive 11,12 films.

REMINDER: BNC Distinguished Seminar: Lon Bell, Thurs., Oct. 24th @ 11am in MRGN 121
by Turner, Jaime J 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Dear Colleagues: We invite you to join us for Lon Bell's talk Thursday morning. This is the first in a series of talks about thermoelectrics. The next talk will be by Arun Majumdar on Nov. 21. The potentially transformative possibilities of thermoelectric technologies have long been understood, and over the past two decades, the thermoelectric material figure of merit has been increased substantially, but the promise of widely used commercial thermoelectric technologies has not been realized. Fresh perspectives from people outside of the thermoelectric research community are needed. For those of you looking for an introduction to thermoelectric science and systems, we have prepared a set of tutorials that you can find here: https://nanohub.org/groups/needus/taking_stock_of_thermoelectrics We hope that you will be part of the yearlong discussion that Lon Bell's talk will kick off on Thursday. -Mark and Ali [cid:image006.jpg@01D58994.3C5B5000] Opportunities, limitations and challenges to the broad commercialization of Thermoelectric technology Lon Bell CEO Ideal Power Inc. and Co-founder Gentherm and CALSTART Thursday, October 24, 2019 11:00am in MRGN 121 Abstract: Thermoelectric systems hold the promise of solid state heating, cooling an electric power generation without any greenhouse gas emissions or mechanical moving parts. Despite these very attractive features the technology has not been broadly adopted. This talk explores the state of thermoelectrics in light of materials and systems currently available, material properties, design and usage criteria and concludes with prospects for future broader commercialization. Bio: Currently, Dr. Bell is engaged with several emerging, technology driven companies that are characterized by the potential to have global economic impact, address long term societal needs and create strong IP positions. Bell is also a Chair of the External Advisory Board for the California Institute of Technology's Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. Bell founded Amerigon in 1991 (now Gentherm, NASDAQ: THRM). Gentherm is a $1B global leader in supplying high quality thermal management products to the automotive and commercial markets. Gentherm's automotive products include climate seats that provide both heating and cooling, EV battery thermal management systems, heated steering wheels, and heated and cooled storage bins. In 1991, Bell was a cofounder of CALSTART and its first president. CALSTART is a California based non-profit member-supported organization of more than 140 firms, fleets and agencies dedicated to supporting a growing high-tech, clean transportation industry with goals to help clean the air, create jobs, cut imported oil and reduce global warming emissions. As a founder and its first president, Bell led CALSTART's formation and initiated the process of transferring green aerospace technologies into the transportation sector. Bell served as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board at Michigan State University's Energy Frontier Research Center, a multi-university consortium conducting fundamental research in solid state energy conversion technologies. He served in a similar role for the University of California at Santa Barbara's Institute for Energy Efficiency. He has authored more than 40 publications in the areas of thermodynamics of thermoelectric systems, automotive crash sensors, and other electronic and electromechanical devices. He has been granted over 100 patents for his inventions. Five clusters of Bell's inventions have gone into mass production and dominated their target markets, generating over two billion US Dollars in sales. Bell received a bachelor's degree in Mathematics in 1962, a Master's degree in Rocket Propulsion in 1963, and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1968, all from the California Institute of Technology.

BNC Faculty Seminar Series - Presenter: Miko Cakmak - Thurs 10/24 @ 12noon in BRK 2001
by Turner, Jaime J 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar will be this Thursday, 10/24 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. Professor Miko Cakmak will be presenting. Miko Cakmak<https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/birck/directory/profile.php?resource_i…>, Reilly Professor of Materials and Mechanical Engineering will present a brief overview of his work on flexible electronics using Roll to Roll manufacturing for the first half then the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Field Assisted "Z" orientation of Nanophases to Produce Thickness Functionalized films For Flexible Electronics using a New Roll to Roll manufacturing Platform Electric1,2, Magnetic3, and Thermal gradient5,6 fields are three important methods used in Field Assisted Self Assembly (FASA) of polymer blends, block copolymers, liquid crystals and polymer nanocomposites. These assisted assembly techniques have been used in laboratory scale, but for potential applications such as flexible electronics7, membranes8, supercapacitors, fuel cells, photovoltaic’s etc. a large scale manufacturing platform is needed. We introduce a novel roll to roll process developed in our laboratories to achieve "Z-direction" alignment of nanostructural units. A 40ft line was designed which uses a casting system to deposit desired thickness of liquid such as a monomer ,polymer solution as well as melt up to 6" wide on a flexible substrate. The substrate is then carried to an electric field application zone which consists of temperature controlled opposing roll to roll electrodes. The electric field applied can be a DC, AC or a biased AC, hence using the various fields we can maximize the orientation by increasing the dielectric contrast between the particles and the matrix. [MicroCT of 100micrometer thick film with Z aligned Nickel nanoparticle column forest]If orientation and self-assembly through magnetic field is desired, the second tool located downstream is activated. This electromagnet is capable of applying magnetic fields up to 2.2 T to the material supported by a flexible substrate through the opposing poles. This line also contains a movable UV lamp which can be used to freeze the structure of required morphology using photocurable resin after electric field or magnetic field application zones. Electric and magnetic field alignment of particles and polymer chains is studied through real time birefringence measurement, to determine various parameters effecting the orientation of particles/phases inside a polymeric film under the magnetic or electric field. The birefringence system is based on the solution drying process developed in our lab9. In this talk, we will review our recent results on the use of this machine to produce Z-( thickness direction) functional films for capacitors, piezoelectric sensors, nanogenerators and transparent audio speakers10, and piezoresistive 11,12 films.
