Application of graphene based materials in aeronautical structures
for de-icing, lightning strike protection, fire barrier and water absorption prevention purposes
Achieving multifunctionality via the addition of graphene-related materials:
De-Icing
Lightning strike protection
Flame inhibition
Water impermeability
Graphene based materials for aeronautical industry
innovative, environmentally friendly methodes, innovative modification and functionalization of the nanomaterials of the 21st century
Integrative approach
no need of extra heavy parts for de-icing, lightning strike protection: multi-functional approach by using only innovative materials science
Massive reduction on fuel consumption and therefore on CO2 emission
via massive weight reduction with the help of lightweight graphene based materials
Innovative synthesis of graphene based/related materials (GRM)
Integration of graphene based materials into aeronautical structures
We are driven by advantages for the environment
reduction on fuel consumption, CO2 emission reduction
