  1. Diamond-Ceramic Nanofibrous Composites Andrei Stanishevsky, University of Alabama at Birmingham, DMR 0806521 Outcome: Researchers at UAB have created a composite nanomaterial of diamond shell/ceramic core fibers. Impact:Such hybrid nanocomposites can increase the efficiency and service life of electrochemical electrodes, sensors, catalysts, and porous membranes, where the combination of properties of diamond and ceramics in one structure can be the answer to many challenges in materials research. Explanation:Recent Workshop on Emerging Research Areas in Ceramic Science identified the “challenge to use available synthetic capabilities to make new materials in a sensible and systematic fashion and to explore the physical properties of such materials with an eye to unique behavior and novel applications” as one of grand challenges for the ceramics research community. The overarching goal of present study is to address the current issues in research on nanoceramic, nanofibrous, and nanodiamondmaterials and to develop hybrid composite materials with improved properties for demanding technological applications.

  2. S(INTER)2ing in nanocarbon scienceAndrei Stanishevsky, University of Alabama at Birmingham, DMR 0806521 The collaborative Students’ INTERnationalINTERdisciplinary training(S(INTER)2ing)programis a key part of this project. Sixteen UAB students participated to date in the project-related research, training, and cultural activities in Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, and France), and twelve students from European partner universities participated in such activities at UAB. Examples include: •UAB students working on research projects in Technical U – Lodz (Poland) and Arts et MetiersParisTech (AMPT, France); • Dual PhD Program with AMPT (France) established, with the first student (Mike Walock) just graduated; • UAB students participated in 1st and 2nd US-Poland Workshops on Nanoscale Diamond Materials.
