Abstract
This work consists of obtaining and characterizing the thermal and mechanical properties of multifunctional composites obtained from the use of carbon fibers, nanotubes or carbon buckypapers and thermoplastic matrices for aeronautical applications. The choice for the realization of this research project is due to several factors, among them: to continue the research projects just completed, to assist in the structuring and maintenance of the thermal analysis laboratories, in the synthesis of polymers and, more recently, in the processing and characterization And the development of a joint project with researchers from Germany (Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden), the Netherlands (Delft University) and the United States (University of California), aiming at partnerships with these universities, allowing the transfer of technological knowledge between Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands and the USA. In addition, this project will also be conducted with the aim of contributing to a series of master's and doctoral studies that have been developed under the guidance of the researchers who make up the team proposing this work. Another factor that strengthens the interest and necessity of this research project is the interest of two national companies that work in the aerospace area, such as EMBRAER and Alltec. During the development of this research project, it is intended to establish the most suitable process parameters for obtaining multifunctional composites with structural purposes, from the use of thermoplastic films, carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers. Thus, two different types of composites will be processed: 1) a composite processed from the use of carbon fibers, thermoplastic matrix and carbon nanotubes and 2) a composite processed from carbon fibers, thermoplastic matrix and carbon buckypapers . After processing, both composites will be evaluated from mechanical tests by interlaminar shear, vibrations (USA), End-notched-flexure (Brazil); Thermal tests (DMA and TMA), fatigue (Holland-Brazil); And correlative microscopy, combining techniques of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy for the microstructural and fractographic analysis.
