The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the University of Maryland to design, develop, fabricate and test nanocarbon metal composites with higher electrical conductivity and mechanical strength than pure metal or metal alloys. Activities would include multiscale testing of mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of the materials. Project work would occur at various laboratories located on the campus of the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Aberdeen Proving Ground facility in Maryland, GDC Industries, LLC's industrial manufacturing facility in Ohio, and General Cable Corporation’s technology center in Indiana.
