TAILOR-MADE BIFUNCTIONAL CARBON NANOTUBES TO ENHANCE INTERFACIAL INTERACTIONS IN FIBER REINFORCED POLYMERIC COMPOSITES

Objective

Structural composites that are combination high strength fibers with a continuous polymer matrix are already utilized in a variety of applications including aerospace, transportation, construction, marine goods and sporting goods. .As the usage of these materials increases rapidly and new application areas emerge for materials, performance expectations to meet these needs also rise. the energy output in wind turbine blades is directly proportional to the area swept by the rotor (square of the diameter of the blade) and with the aid of composite structures that are mechanically stronger, the length of blades used in wind turbine blades can be increased and the weight can be decreased with new designs, which results in higher energy output. Carbon nanotubes have recently attracted great attention in the field of material science due to their unique mechanical, electrical and thermal properties combined with their nanoscale size, high aspect ratio and low density. The proposed project offers a unique methodology for the production of next generation structural composites using chemically functionalized carbon nanomaterials for improved mechanical performance.
