Materials Nanomech Nanomechanics of defects in solids: applications to nanolayers, nanoparticles, nanocrystals and biomaterials

Coordinator: IOFFE PHYSICO-TECHNICAL INSTITUTE OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (RU)

The aim of the proposed project is to continue the research on a general nanomechanics of defects framework for the understanding and prediction of structure-properties relationships of nanoscale materials. This framework has to be suitable for metal nanoparticles and nanorods, nanolayered films and core/shell nanowires, ultrafine grained bulk nanostructures, as well as carbon nanotubes and protein membrane nanotubes. While standard continuum mechanics and dislocation theory have been useful tools for addressing scientific and technological problems at macro and meso scales, their direct use …

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €11k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 0.8 years from 2011-12-17 to 2012-09-16.
