General information

Short Summary
This project focuses on developing new-generation polymer nanocomposites as alternatives to carbon-based materials, widely used for their durability and low weight in sectors like automotive and aerospace. By incorporating nanoparticle-sized fillers into the polymer matrix, the project aims to enhance mechanical properties, improve thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and chemical resistance, while reducing energy consumption.
Full Description
Carbon-based materials are widely used in sectors such as automotive, construction, energy, packaging, and aerospace for their high durability and low weight. However, the production of these materials involves high thermal processes such as pyrolysis and carbonization. These processes, conducted at temperatures ranging from 1700°C to 2400°C, can lead to fluctuations in heat distribution, resulting in changes in the mechanical properties of the material and the release of toxic gases during the process. This project aims to develop new-generation polymer nanocomposites as alternatives to carbon-based materials.
Advantages and Innovations
- The incorporation of nanoparticle-sized fillers improves the strength and durability of the polymer nanocomposites compared to traditional carbon-based materials.

- The development process aims to reduce energy consumption, making the production of these nanocomposites more sustainable.

- The new materials will exhibit better thermal stability, allowing them to perform reliably in high-temperature environments.

- Improved electrical conductivity opens up new applications in electronics and energy sectors.

- The nanocomposites will provide better resistance to chemicals, increasing their applicability in harsh environments.

- By offering alternatives to high-temperature processes like pyrolysis and carbonization, the project aims to minimize the release of toxic gases.

- The developed materials can be utilized in multiple sectors, including automotive, construction, energy, packaging, and aerospace.

- This project represents a significant advancement in material science by integrating nanotechnology into polymer development, paving the way for future innovations.

- The project contributes to more environmentally friendly production practices by reducing reliance on traditional carbon-based materials.

- The outputs will be designed for easy commercialization, ensuring that the new materials can quickly meet industry demands.
