Abstract_Chun H. Wang_Engineering Mucoadhesive Polymer Fibre-Reinforced Nanocomposites for Extreme Environments

The demand for advanced fiber-reinforced composites capable of performing in extreme environments is driving significant innovation. A primary strategy for meeting these demands involves the integration of nanomaterials into thermoset polymer matrices to enhance their mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical properties. This talk explores recent advances in fiber-reinforced nanocomposites that can withstand liquid hydrogen temperatures without microcracking, enhance fire resistance, and the integration of structural power, effectively turning composite components into supercapacitors and batteries. Additionally, we will review the progress in multiscale computational models in optimizing these materials and discuss the future opportunities for expanding their utility in extreme environmental applications.
