The Indianapolis 500 is a marvel of chemistry, technology, and engineering. From the lightweight carbon fibers and Kevlar composites used in the chassis to the thin, treadless tires that provide a glue-like grip at temperatures of over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, there are numerous high-tech materials a race car driver uses to win the Indy 500 all while traveling the length of a football field every second! Join 7-time Indy 500 veteran Stephan Gregoire in the morning session, as he gives a fascinating look from inside the cockpit at innovations in materials chemistry that allow these highly specialized vehicles to compete at speeds over 225 mph. The Chemistry of Racing symposium also discusses how racing on the Speedway is becoming more green with high-performance engines using biodiesel fuels and supercar performance is being achieved with electrochemical reactions in the next-generation Lithium batteries. The afternoon session brings research back to the raceway with a look at how chemistry relates to high-performance asphalt, tires, and fuels.
