Carbon Nano Tube (CNT)- Polymer Composites International Conference
Conference Chairmen: Karl Schulte, TUHH (D), Alan H. Windle, Univ. Cambridge (UK) September 4-7, 2005, Technical University Hamburg-Harburg, Germany

Scope of Conference

This conference aims to gather the international scientific community working in the field of carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer composites. At the conference the latest results and findings in this field will be presented and discussed. The conference will offer a great opportunity for delegates to exchange knowledge and make contacts.

CNT-net is a European funded, 5^th Framework, scientific network specialising in polymer nanocomposites containing carbon nanotube or nanofibre fillers. All aspects of the mechanical reinforcement and the improvement of thermal and electrical properties are discussed between more than 20 permanent and affiliated members from industry and academia.

The Polymer Composites Section is one of 71 institutes of the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg. The main research activities are in the fields of advanced polymer composites, such as CFRP, GFRP, Glare and nanocomposites based on both carbon nanotubes and layered silicates as reinforcement fillers. Structure / Property relationships are investigated by means of processing, determination of morphology, mechanical and physical properties and modelling.
