This talk will describe the research work in nanotechnology carried
out at the Applied Research Center (ARC) of Old Dominion University. Some
of the projects carried out at the center includes in the area of carbon
nanotubes and nanoparticles fabrication, characterization
and their applications. Carbon nanotubes have very unique properties such
as 100x higher strength then steel, very high electrical conductivity (like
copper) and good thermal conductivity (like metals). The ARC has also established
a National Science Foundation Center for Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced
Manufacturing.
