Scalable Graphene Enabled Smart Composites

在可再生能源、电子机动车和相关减排的背景下，对轻质复合材料的需求呈指数级增长。该项目旨在开发新的方法，将石墨烯纳米材料集成到结构复合材料中，实现损伤传感和结构健康监测功能。该项目的成果将是一种新的智能复合材料，它将满足提高结构完整性、安全性和可靠性的迫切需求，同时显著降低生命周期成本。这将在创造信心方面提供重大好处，以增加在澳大利亚的投资，以制造具有巨大出口潜力的石墨烯智能材料和技术。

The need for lightweight composite materials is increasing exponentially in the context of renewable energy, e-mobility and related emission reductions. This project aims to develop novel approaches to integrate graphene nanomaterials into structural composites, enabling damage sensing and structural health monitoring functionalities. The outcome of this project will be a new class of smart composites that will address the critical need for improving structural integrity, safety and reliability, while significantly reducing lifecycle costs. This should provide significant benefits in creating confidence to increase investment in Australia for manufacturing graphene enabled smart materials and technologies with enormous export potential.
