Composites with enhanced conductivity and Young's modulus and desired Poisson's ratio

Abstract eng:
We have designed two types of composites with size from macro- down to micro- and nano-scale. One type of the composites has an isotropic conductivity almost the same as the maximum possible upper limit, and the other type has an isotropic conductivity much greater than the conventional isotropic composites. The designed two types of composites can have an almost isotropic Young’s modulus significantly greater than the Voigt limit and a Poisson’s ratio at a desired value, e.g. positive, negative or 0. The designed composites have wide applications in many different structures from space aircrafts, land vehicles/buildings to underwater submarines.
