Tailor-made hybrid materials systems that combine structural light-weight alloys and polymers while using the high strength of nanoscale reinforcing elements form an emerging research focus within the topic "Hybrid and Functionalized Structures" of the research programme “Advanced Engineering Materials” at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht. Emphasis is on mechanical performance at low weight, as an inherent challenge in energy-efficient mobile applications. The key materials component is formed by nanostructured metallic networks that can be prepared in macroscopic volumes through the controlled corrosion of alloys. Synthesis and properties of such ‘nanoporous metals’ represent a research focus at Institute of Metal Research, CAS and at Hamburg University of Technology. Model experiments using nanoporous Au and Au-Pt alloys, in some instances infiltrated with epoxy resin, have established attractive mechanical and functional behavior. A key challenge on the way to application is to transfer these results to more cost-efficient and light-weight metals. This requires corrosion processes matched to less noble metals such as Cu, Ti or even stainless steel, and that produce high quality nanoporous materials with small and uniform structure size and no defects. Aqueous corrosion will not in all instances be appropriate, and ionic liquids, molten salts or even metal melts may emerge as the corrosion media of choice. Based on a strong track record of cooperation, the applicants propose to join forces in an effort to develop and establish novel synthesis protocols for cost-efficient and lightweight nanoporous transition metals.
