Advanced resin systems for next generation hierarchical composites

这个“NextCOMP”项目的重点是提高纤维复合材料在压缩中的绝对性能，既要解决当前材料的实际限制，又要证明定量分层材料设计的价值。先进的复合材料对于轻量化设计，特别是运输电气化，以及风能发电和建筑中的其他应用至关重要。因此，该项目涉及减缓气候变化所需的基础科学和实用材料。这项工作将在每个长度尺度上开发和嵌入结构，从矩阵分子到最终组件的铺设，使用新的成分和新的架构，在新的分析框架内设计。该方案将受益于核心项目期间的高度创造性和跨学科方法，并得到主要国际顾问和合作者的贡献。一个广泛的工业伙伴团体将为该项目作出贡献，并在方案期间设计的概念示范的基础上帮助发展产出。

This "NextCOMP" programme focusses on the challenge of improving the absolute performance of fibre composites in compression, both to address practical limitations of current materials, and as a demonstration of the value of quantitative hierarchical materials design. Advanced composites are crucial to lightweight design, and the electrification of transport, in particular, as well as other applications in wind energy generation and construction. The project, therefore, addresses both fundamental science and practical materials needed for climate change mitigation. The work will develop and embed structure at every length scale from the molecules of the matrix, to the lay-up of final components, using new constituents and new architectures, designed within a new analytical framework. The programme will benefit from a highly creative and interdisciplinary approach amongst the core project term, amplified by contributions from leading international advisors and collaborators. An extensive group of industrial partners will contribute to the project, and help to develop the outputs, building on concept demonstrators designed during the programme.
