Carbon Nanotube Fibers: Challenges and Opportunities
The superb mechanical and physical properties of individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide the impetus for researchers in developing highperformance continuous fibers based upon CNTs [1]. The highest specific strength and stiffness reported for CNT fibers are, respectively, 5.3 times that of the strongest commercial fiber (T1000), and 4.3 times that of the stiffest commercial fiber (M70J) [2]....
متن کاملElectroactive Smart Materials: New Challenges for Control
In this paper, the main objective is to provide an overview of a new class of research problems for the area which is broadly termed smart structures control. To this end, we describe electroactive smart materials and focus on control issues which naturally arise. Such materials, typically nano and micro-polymers, have mechanical properties controlled by an electric field. Unlike existing appro...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Polymer Composites
Figure2 While there are limitless applications for these materials, we are interested in radiation shielding and radiation resistant materials for use in the space industry. Initially, we focused on optically transparent single wall nanotoube (SWNT) polymer composites (2-5). Three different in situ polymerization/sonication methods, heat, light and gamma radiation, were used to produce poly (me...
متن کاملAdvanced Materials: Challenges and Opportunities
ew materials, or new ways of using and combining existing materials, are being required to meet tomorrow’s engineering applications. This need is compounded by pressures to stay competitive by keeping costs reasonable while continuing to make new material technologies available to our APL customers. The main challenges created by today’s environment include the understanding and assimilation of...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Enhanced Composite Materials
Non covalent functionalization by π stacking was accomplished by treating multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) through the use of Kentera, a conjugate rigid rod polymer. The functionalized MWNTs were then introduced into the epoxy resins through a combination of shear and elongation forces. The resulting epoxy resin (containing MWNTs) was then impregnated with carbon fiber under hot-melt condi...
