Sid Pathak, assistant professor of chemical and materials engineering, was awarded a grant from the U.S. Army Research Office for his collaborative research with the Colorado School of Mines. Working with associate professor of mechanical engineering, Garritt Tucker, the project, titled “Mechanistic-Design of Multilayered Nanocomposites: Hierarchical Metal-MAX Materials for Tunable Strength and Toughness,” focuses on how multilayered materials have useful mechanical, chemical and functional properties. These can be useful when tested in wide ranges of temperature, mechanical loadings, and environmental conditions.
