Funded Activity Summary

Material properties and mechanical behaviours of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite structures. Polymer nanocomposites and their applications in advanced structures represent one of the most significant developments of composite materials and structures in the past decade. This project aims to quantify the equivalent material properties of effective individual carbon nanotube in polymer matrix, predict the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites and optimise the mechanical behaviours of functionally graded carbon nanotube polymer composite structures through a multi-scale modelling and analytical approach. It will establish guidelines and strategies for design and development of high performance carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer composites and their functionally graded structures.
