Application of graphene based materials in aeronautical structures for de-icing, lightning strike protection, fire barrier and water absorption prevention purposes

The topic aims are to take advantage from electrical, thermal and impermeable properties of graphene and to investigate the benefits of the use of graphene on composite aeronautical structures, in order to identify the most suitable solution (in terms of amount and form of graphene) for thermal de-icing systems, lightning strike protection, fire barrier and water uptake prevention. The proposed solutions will be verified through fabrication and testing of dedicated small scale subcomponents. Please refer to the full topic descriptions document published in this call.
