IEM Seminar series in Advanced Manufacturing and Sustainability : Multiscale Materials by Design: From Additive Manufacturing to Self-Assembly
Abstract:
The ability to precisely dictate material structure over multiple length scales — from molecular composition to material microstructure to macroscale architecture — to obtain enhanced or previously impossible material properties, is key to the development of new technologies that could help tackle many of the sustainability challenges facing society today. As such, there have been significant interest in developing synthetic and manufacturing strategies
that enable the fabrication of materials with precise form and function. In this seminar, I will highlight two such strategies, additive manufacturing (AM) and self-assembly, and discuss how rational polymer design can enhance their capabilities and enable the manufacturing of advanced materials at varying length scales.
About the speaker:
Daryl W. Yee is currently a postdoctoral associate at MIT. He obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science from Caltech. He received his B.Eng in Materials Science and Engineering from Imperial College London.
