METHOD FOR PRODUCING NANOFIBRES OF EPOXY RESIN FOR COMPOSITE LAMINATES OF AERONAUTICAL STRUCTURES TO IMPROVE THEIR ELECTROMAGNETIC CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of producing epoxy nanofibresduring the lay-up of structural elements of carbon fibre (CF) compositelaminatesand more specifically epoxy nanofibres doped with carbon nanotubes, and to alaminate of composite material obtained by such a method. The methodcomprises the steps of dissolving an epoxy resin formulation in a suitablesolventand forcing the solution containing the epoxy resin formulation through atleastone electrified capillary duct wherein a meniscus is formed at the exit of thecapillary duct, being a thin charged nanojet emitted from the vertex of themeniscus.
