$69,988Benefits:
Successful completion of the Phase I and Phase I Option will provide the technical basis for understanding the degree of functionalization of SWNTs, and the effective influence on mechanical properties of epoxy and vinyl ester resin nanocomposites. Initial process conditions for both the functionalization steps and the subsequent dispersion procedures into the resin will be developed. The technical advancements from Phase I and the anticipated follow-on Phase II efforts will be applicable to a variety of industrial products and systems as well as to the Navy's interests. Potential commercial applications in such diverse areas as aerospace, industrial (including oil & gas), municipal piping infrastructure, and transportation infrastructure such as bridges and guards, will benefit from the direct translation of this technology into product development efforts
