Advanced polymer composites filled with novel 2D nanoparticles (NANO2COM)

 

Project no.: project5015

Project description:

NANO2COM is aimed to development of advanced high-performance composites with outstanding mechanical and electrical properties by addition of novel MXene nanosheets and graphene into epoxy matrixes. The project will firstly go forward to the rational design and systematic exploration of hybrid MXene/graphene-based polymer nanocomposites for flexible electronics and advanced construction components.

Project funding:

ERA-NET and other coordination measures


Project results:

The scientific results of NANO2COM include comprehensive assessment of mechanical and electrical properties of hybrid MXene/graphene-filled polymers, and the development and validation of two lab-scale demonstrators, advanced FRP filled by hybrid nanofiller, in potential application fields. Testing of the demonstrators will be realized in laboratories and in supporting industries in relevant environment.
