Proceedings of U.S. Army Research Office Workshop on U.S. Army Applications for Diamond and Diamondlike Materials Held at Chapel Hill, North Carolina on 13-14 June 1989.

摘要

The Materials Science Division of the U.S. Army Research Office Sponsored a one and one-half day workshop in June 1989 to review the status of diamond-related research in the U.S., and to identify Army system requirements that potentially could be met by this technology. Fourteen invited speakers provided an overview of diamond-related research in the U.S., and identified the particular applications where this technology could make a significant contribution to future Army missions. Applications that deserve increased attention include: erosion-resistant broad-band missile domes and detector windows, corrosion-and tribological resistant coatings, thermal heat dissipating structures, and high-strength ceramics/composites. Working discussions were then convened to determine whether there were specific recommendations which would promote the Army's implementation of this technology. (jes)
