ORITUPOCO Orientation of Carbon Nanotubes in Polymer Composites

Coordinator: USTAV POLYMEROV SLOVENSKEJ AKADEMIEVIED VEREJNA VYSKUMNA INSTITUCIA (SK)

Proposal plans to prepare well-aligned carbon nanotube (CNT)/polymer composites. The orientation of CNTs will be reached by two ways. By the first way, well-dispersed surface modified CNTs in gel network will be uniaxially stretched and then cross-linked further, to freeze to the oriented system. By the second way, CNTs with photo-active groups at surface will create self-assembled structures in polymer matrix. For this reason, it is necessary to perform surface modification of CNTs. It will be achieved by introducing of functional groups or oligomers miscible with polymer matrix to reach the…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €45k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2009-04-01 to 2012-03-31.
