Funded Activity Summary

Nanotribology of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Composites: The Processing-Microstructure-Property Principles and Technology. The nanotribology science for carbon nanotube reinforced composites has not been established and industry found that published methods were not usable. This project will make a major step forward on the theoretical development and offer an innovative technology to enable industry to determine optimal manufacturing conditions. The success of research will greatly enhance Australia's international standing and sharpen the competitive edge of Australian industry. Meanwhile, the project will strengthen Australia's international links and provide an interdisciplinary opportunity for junior researchers to develop their skills in one of the most important areas in the century.
