Funded Activity Summary

Fundamental roles of nano-particles in composite-fibre/epoxy-polymer (CF/EP) composites. There is a significant demand for value-added, innovative epoxy resins for various applications. Australia has a well established aerospace industry and world-leading expertise in synthesising and processing inorganic nano-particles. The outputs of this project will be beneficial to both material manufacturers and design engineers. Understanding the fundamental roles of functional nano-fillers will stimulate scientific and technological interests for future research and development of multifunctional engineering materials with improved properties and structures designed in the nano-scale. The project will give Australian researchers a technological edge over their competitors in materials science and engineering.
