BEIJING, Aug. 24 — The dream of flight has evolved from wood and metal to modern composite aircraft. Now, Airbus and Chinese scientists are aiming to revolutionize aviation with super-tiny nano-materials.
“It represents the future,” said Michel Tran Van, general manager of Airbus Beijing Engineering Centre (ABEC).
“Airbus and the top Chinese scientific research institutions are combining the needs of the industry with the most cutting-edge technologies,” he said.
ABEC and the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China (NCNST) have recently announced the establishment of a joint laboratory in Beijing to explore the engineering applications of nanoscience in the aeronautics industry.
“We’ve always aimed for lightweight and safe transport vehicles. We should focus too on energy conservation and environmental protection,” said Fan Shoushan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor at Tsinghua University.
“Composites, also known as functional composites or intelligent materials, are important to address these issues,” Fan said.
Nanomaterials are materials with at least one dimension down to a nanometer (one billionth of a meter) in size. They are also called nanoscale materials.
If a hair has a diameter of 0.05 mm and is axially split into 50,000 filaments on average, each filament is about 1 nanometer thick.
Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that began to draw worldwide attention in the early 1990s.
Over the past 20 years, China has become a vital force in global nano-research, with research leading to many advanced technologies.
“Combining scientific research and industry is a good way to create a new generation of materials,” Fan said.
“Only the industry itself knows what it really needs in the future, and the scientific research community knows where they are heading,” he said. – XINHUA
