Fabrication and Modeling of Carbon and Boron Nitride Nanotube Growth on Lightweight Substrates for Multi-Functional Composite Structures Project
Description
<p> Specific objectives are:</p><ol><li>Develop the fabrication process for producing fuzzy fiber with desired carbon nanotube (CNT) length leveraging current collaboration with MIT through the National Space Technology Fellowship (NSTRF).</li><li>Evaluate fuzzy fiber composites with tailored CNT length</li><li>Develop Boron Nitride Nanotube (BNNT) capabilities to enable incorporation of vertically aligned BNNTs into composite structures for multifunctional composite structures.</li><li>Model nanotube length and loading requirements to maximize transport properties through the resin rich inter-ply region of a composite and verify the model from composite data with different CNT lengths.</li></ol>
