Primary Dispersions Limited, a spin-out from the UK Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), has formed a group to commercialise specialist #graphene based epoxy resins for the aerospace industr
The group includes: Bombardier, B/E Aerospace Ltd, NetComposites Ltd, The Institute of Occupational Medicine, Nanoforce Technology Ltd.
The InnovateUK project titled ‘NanoSynth’ which began in April 2013 has been able to show significant improvements in epoxy resin mechanical, thermal and electrical properties.
Although still at a low technology readiness level, the programme has developed a method for producing graphene in-situ within the resin.
Once concluded the project has the potential to introduce graphene based epoxy resins into aerospace components leading to parts that are not only stronger and of reduced weight but also possess improved electrical and thermal properties.
