Deliverable 3.1 (D3.1)- Guidelines and Codes of good practices referring to the manufacturing processes of CNM composites

The deliverable 3.1 (D3.1) entitled Guidelines and Codes of good practices referring to the manufacturing processes of carbon nanomaterials (CNM) composites, was developed within the WG3 regarding novel CNM & new processing routes. At first, a brief overview of the different carbon-based nanomaterials with potential utilization in sensing applications is presented. Followed by the different methodologies used to prepare nanocomposites and fibre reinforced composites, along with their main properties. The main purpose of this document is to give a clear view of the drawbacks that limit the up-scale utilization of CNM composites and to provide principles and strategies for the maximization of their properties with the incorporation of these types of particles. This deliverable received contribution of some WG3 members.
