Developement of CNT doped reinforced aircraft composite parts and a <br/>ssociated tooling, using the Liquid Resin Infusion method

Objective

BULCANATU project wants to develop feasible techniques for advanced
and cost effective composite manufacturing of aviation parts. The
development of new epoxy resin Carbon Nanotube doping techniques
compatible with Liquid Resin Infusion will open a new era on fabrication
of aerospace parts with improved mechanical properties, thanks to
nanoparticles. Future aircraft manufactured with doped CNT epoxy
resins, would be the increase on electrical conductivity that could lead to
the removal of cooper lightning protection mesh of advanced composite
fuselage.
The main issues to overcome are the dispersion and stability of the CNT
over the epoxy resin, filtration phenomena within the infusion process,
and the manufacture of high performance composite parts under “out of
autoclave” conditions at greater viscosities than expected. Thanks to the
joint venture between TR Composites and the Universidad Rey Juan
Carlos, all aspects of the call are covered with wide experience to
achieve good results.
