Objective The aim of the proposal is to modify several epoxy resin systems designed for the manufacture of fiber reinforced composites. These modifications include the use of silica nanoparticles, toughneres like core shell elastomers and combinations thereof. The modified resin systems are adapted to the processing conditions in the manufacture of the FRCs. The modifications are selected to increse significantly the performance of the FRCs by means of toughness, stiffness, fatigue etc. Fields of science engineering and technologymaterials engineeringcomposites Programme(s) FP7-JTI - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Joint Technology Initiatives Topic(s) JTI-CS-2010-1-GRA-01-028 - Nano Modification of CFRP Resin Call for proposal SP1-JTI-CS-2010-01 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme JTI-CS - Joint Technology Initiatives - Clean Sky Coordinator NANORESINS AG Address Charlottenburger strasse 9 21502 Geesthacht Germany See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Stephan Sprenger (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data
