The project aims at the development of a new, bio-based, innovative and completely recyclable composite material obtained by fast and low energy consumption out-of-autoclave process. The matrix will be made by a new bio-based epoxy resin formulation filled by expanded graphite (EG), that will have a multiple role in the enhancement of both material and manufacturing process, providing smart functi

This research project deals with new strategies for reducing resource and energy waste during the manufacturing processes of structural composites, including future implications for integrating smart functions. Structural thermoset resins filled with different percentages of electrically conductive nanofillers will be manufactured by comparing two hardening processes: the classical thermal curing

The main objective of this research activity will be the development of strain sensors of three-dimensional (3D) printed manufacts for health monitoring of polymeric structures/devices. The work aims at exploiting the anisotropic properties of 3D-printed parts composed of MWCNT-based polymer to create oriented nanometric networks capable of manifesting controlled self-sensing ability. This would a
