Dr. Enrique Jackson from NASA-Marshall Space Center will present a seminar entitled, “Development of Thermal Properties of Carbon-Nanotube Polymer Composition.” Abstract The overall goal of this effort is to develop enhanced thermal properties in carbon nanotube-polymer composites that can replace traditional aerospace metallic materials to reduce the weight in space structures. In this work, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were dispersed onto a prepreg composite structure used to provide favorable thermal storage properties. The carbon nanotubes increased the thermal transport properties of [...]
