Developing carbon polymer nanocomposites
Chalmers, the Swerea IVF research institute and the University of Borås have received 14.7 MSEK to develop high quality carbon polymer nanocomposites (CPNC) and novel CPNC devices.
The five-year project, called "Lightweight electro-active fibres/textiles/layers and preparation of novel devices" is funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. Its main goal is to develop high quality polymer nanocomposites and consequently novel devices possessing enhanced piezoelectric, electrical conductivity, photorefractive (PR), and electrical insulation functions.
Subprojects:
- Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) materials and new fibres thereof to enable lightweight fibre/textile based actuators and sensors.
- Durable electrically conductive textile fibers fulfilling requirements on mechanical and tactile properties.
- PR (photorefractive) layers yielding stable operation in the whole visible and near-IR ranges for electromagnetic/optical uses.
- Semiconductive composites based on polyolefins for high voltage insulative layers.
The research will be carried out by the Department of materials and manufacturing technology at Chalmers university of technology in Gothenburg, the Swerea-IVF research institute in Borås and the School of engineering at the University of Borås.
