Conductive Polymeric Nanocomposite Materials

AFRL scientists have developed a method for uniformly dispersing carbon nanofibers throughout polymeric materials to increase their conductivity. Engineers will be able to employ the resulting polymeric nanocomposites in conductive paints, coatings, caulks, sealants, adhesives, fibers, thin films, thick sheets, tubes, and large structural components needed for both aerospace and industry applications.
