General information
- Short Summary
- Turkish SME company is looking for a 3rd project partner for the M-ERA NET 2025 Call consortium. This project in the consortium focuses on developing new generation polymer nanocomposites as an alternative to carbon-based materials, which are widely used in sectors such as automotive and aviation due to their durability and low weight.
- 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. By incorporating nanoparticle-sized fillers into the polymer matrix, the goal is to enhance mechanical properties while using less energy, as well as to improve thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and chemical resistance. The outputs of this project will serve as an alternative solution in various sectors, particularly in the energy industry. This project aims to develop a lightweight, durable and environmentally friendly polymer nanocomposite sheet as an alternative to traditional carbon-based materials. A new generation composite material will be produced that is lower cost, more sustainable and highly applicable compared to existing high-performance materials such as carbon fiber and graphene.
- Advantages and Innovations
