METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL

Michele Meo (Inventor), Fulvio Pinto (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a nanocomposite material, comprising providing a fibre fabric; impregnating the fibre fabric with a solution containing nano-silica particles; drying the impregnated fabric leaving discrete nano-silica particles substantially evenly distributed on the surface of the fibres throughout the fabric structure so as to reinforce the fibres; and infiltrating the nano-silica reinforced fibre fabric with a polymeric thermoset resin material. Carbon nanotubes may be grown on the nano-silica reinforced fibre fabric prior to infiltrating with the resin. Also, a nanocomposite material so formed.
