  • Abstract
    The present work deals with the investigation of thermo-mechanical and electrical properties of nano-modified CFRPs in order to present the capacity to use this generation of novel materials in antennas applications. Among the issues discussed is the stiffness variation, the fracture toughness characteristics and the conductivity achieved at various levels of CNT doping of the epoxy matrix phase.
