Abstract |
This project will evaluate different matrices for the formulation of a nanocomposite with boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) and H2. The matrices evaluated are an epoxy (Tetraglycidyl-4,4'-methylene dianiline), thermoplastic (PEEK) and Fayalite. The goal is to thoroughly analyze the composition of a BNNT nanocomposite that outperforms conventional materials used for radiation protection in space and provides proper thermal conductivity, and specific strength. This includes theoretical simulations and an interactive component.
