Abstract

Incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a polymer matrix can provide
structural materials with dramatically increased mechanical and electrical properties.
These properties combined with their low density makes them useful for the
transport industry, especially for aerospace structures, where the reduction of weight
is one of the main goals in order to reduce fuel consumption. However, several
limitations exist firstly related to the dispersion of nanotubes and their compatibility
with the matrix and secondarily to the nature of the binding between nanotubes and
the polymer chains. These setbacks need to be resolved prior to successful
applications
