Project description
The project focuses on the use and functionalization of nanofibres to improve the toughness of epoxy matrix composites. The project consist of 5 packages:
WP1: nanofibre properties with respect to composite applications
WP2: functionalization of nanofbibrous structures
WP3: effect of nanofibres on the curing behavior of epoxy resins
WP4: Tougning of nf-epoxy systems
WP5: mechanical properties of GF/nf composites
