The purpose of this paper is to present the mechanical and morphological characterization of new multifunctional Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Composites (CFRCs) that are able to overcome two of the main drawbacks of aeronautical composite materials: a) reduced electrical conductivity and b) poor flame resistance. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Glycidyl POSS (GPOSS) were used to simultaneously enhance electrical conductivity and flame resistance. The effect of these two combined components on the mechanical and morphological properties of the manufactured CFRCs was analysed.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the mechanical and morphological characterization of new multifunctional Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Composites (CFRCs) that are able to overcome two of the main drawbacks of aeronautical composite materials: a) reduced electrical conductivity and b) poor flame resistance. Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Glycidyl POSS (GPOSS) were used to simultaneously enhance electrical conductivity and flame resistance. The effect of these two combined components on the mechanical and morphological properties of the manufactured CFRCs was analysed.File in questo prodotto:
