Fabrication and Modeling of Carbon and Boron Nitride Nanotube Growth on Lightweight Substrates for Multi-Functional Composite Structures Project

Published by Space Technology Mission Directorate | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: January 10, 2026 at 07:46 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 31, 2025
<p>&nbsp;Specific objectives are:</p><ol><li>Develop the fabrication process for producing fuzzy fiber with desired&nbsp;carbon nanotube (CNT) length leveraging current collaboration with MIT through the National Space Technology Fellowship (NSTRF).</li><li>Evaluate fuzzy fiber composites with tailored CNT length</li><li>Develop&nbsp;Boron Nitride Nanotube (BNNT) capabilities to enable incorporation of vertically aligned BNNTs into composite structures for multifunctional composite structures.</li><li>Model nanotube length and loading requirements to maximize transport properties through the resin rich inter-ply region of a composite and verify the model from composite data with different CNT lengths.</li></ol>
