Carbon nanotubes for future industrial composites: theoretical potential versus immediate application

Objective

Nanotechnology is expected to lead to high-strength, lightweight polymer nanocomposites because of the properties evident in nanoscale reinforcing elements. Using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibres (CNFs) as filler materials will introduce electrical conductivity to polymers coupled with an increase in mechanical performance. The proposed Thematic network fiCNT-Netfl co ordinates research activities presently conducted at the participating research centres and industrial partners on CNT / CNF-related projects. The network combines international areas of competence with a group of companies with high technological expertise. The thirteen leading European partners envisage the transfer from fundamental science to cost-effective production of polymer nanocomposites with improved properties and significant positive environmental impact.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
