Objective
Over the last few years research efforts are directed to the significant decrease of reinforcement size to the nanoscale regime in order to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties of produced nanocomposites. Thus, a basic understanding of nanocomposite architecture as well as the physics and chemistry of the interactions at the interface are essential for designing materials with superior properties for demanding applications.
In this multidisciplinary proposal, the development of novel nanostructured carbon nanotube -based composites that have uniform nanotube dispersion, good interfacial bonding and experience high CNT loading will be attempted. The programme of work spans from nanotube surface-modification to make it more compatible to polymer matrices to measurements of mechanical properties of finished products. We propose a different method for nanocomposite fabrication utilizing non-polluting close mould 'dry pre-forms' concepts that present currently the only available method to produce high volume fraction CNT/ epoxy resin nanocomposites.
An extensive programme of mobility for acquiring the necessary training in order to achieve the programme aims is set out in the proposal. Community benefits are the technological development of a research institute in a less-favoured region and the development of new products and processes in a top priority area.
