Design and Characterization of High-Performance Polymer Nanocomposites for Aerospace Applications
Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites have revolutionized aerospace materials through mechanical strength, thermal stability, and lightness. A number of polymer matrices filled with nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and nanoclay considerably improved structural integrity, flame resistance, and environmental adaptability. However, fabrication techniques are still being optimized so that nanofillers are properly dispersed throughout, which may create contradictions between mechanical strength and process ability. This work tries to design and characterize high- performance …
