Hi all,

I have been reading quite a bit about nanoporous materials,
nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes embedded in polymer matricies and
how they effect the tensile properties of the material compared to the
'non-nano' versions.

What I have not scene, and am very interested in, is how a nanoporous
material, for example, behaves under compression up to, say, 50%
strain. In particular, a PDMS type silicone with nano-pores.

Does anyone know of any studies that have looked at this?

Regards,

Tim
