Presentation and objectives

The objective of the MODCOMP project is to develop new techniques for the functionalization of carbon fibers and for the introduction of CNT and CNF type nanoreinforcements (carbon nanotubes and nanofibers) to obtain composite materials with superior characteristics and multifunctional . ITAINNOVA leads within the project together with Politecnico di Torino the work package related to computational simulation . Regarding the specific activities of ITAINNOVA, the challenge is to understand through multiscale modeling of materials the relationship between manufacturing processes and final properties. This ranges from the analysis from the atomic structure to determine characteristics at the macro level, passing through all the intermediate scales of description of the material structure: nano, micro, milli.
