Abstract
Binary cooperative complementary materials, consisting of two components with entirely opposite physiochemical properties at the nanoscale, are presented as a novel principle for the design and construct of functional materials. By summarizing recent achievement in materials science, it can be found that the cooperative interaction distance between the pair of complementary property must be comparable with the scale of related physical or chemical parameter. When the binary components are in the cooperative distance, the cooperation between these building blocks becomes dominant and endows the macroscopic materials with unique properties and advanced functionalities that cannot be achieved by either of building blocks.
摘要
“二元协同材料”这一新概念,不同于传统的单一体相材料,是在材料的宏观表面或体相内建造二元协同纳米界面结构. 该材料设计原理是,在介观尺度引入不同甚至完全相反理化性质的纳米微区,在某种条件下具有协同的相互作用, 以致在宏观上呈现出超常规物性的材料.这一新原理的关键是找出这两种组分间的协同距离, 该协同距离应该与物理或化学中的某一特征常数相关.这一设计原理可以拓展到材料科学的多个领域, 用于指导制备各种新型功能材料.
