Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites may provide significantly increased modulus, gas barrier, thermal performance, atomic oxygen resistance, resistance to small molecule permeation and improved ablative performance when compared to typical traditional carbon‐fiber‐reinforced polymeric composites. This presentation gives a review on both theoretical and experimental investigations extracting valuable fundamental elements including field emission, thermal stability, and electrical, optical and mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites for aerospace applicability.Keywords
