Non-Metallic Materials Research Thrust (NMMRT), Call 11: General Overview: Due to their small size leading to very large surface area to volume ratio, tailored nanostructured materials and nanocomposites exhibit unusual behaviors compared to bulk materials. Nanostructured materials research has been a focus of the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorates Nanostructured and Biological Materials Branch (AFRL/RXBN) (Formally the Polymers Branch (AFRL/RXBP) and other AFRL/RX branches for approximately 10 years. The Air Force is interested in taking some of the most promising Nanostructured Materials Research from the laboratory and focusing development in critical AF applications areas to help accelerate the use of Nanotechnology as well as demonstrate improve properties and performance in materials and devices using Nanotechnology. A cross directorate nanotechnology research team has downselected the following topic areas to pursue further development and demonstration through this call: 1) Nanoparticle-Based Conductive Lubricants for Radio Frequency (RF) Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) Switches, 2) Nanostructured Materials-Based High Energy Density Batteries for AF Applications, 3) Type-III CdTe/HgTe Superlattices for Very Long Wavelength Infrared (VLWIR) Detectors, and 4) Nanotechnology-Enabled Dynamic Electro-Optic Filters.
