SMARTFAN proposes the development of smart material and product architectures with integrated functionalities that will interact with their environment and react to stimuli by employing biomimetic, self-sensing, actuating and damage-repairing technologies. Their smartness is based on bio-inspired engineering and the use of, (i) low and high grade carbon fibres (CF), (ii) CF reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and (iii) nano-/micro- composites with special physicochemical properties, in order to develop smart (bulk) materials, applied on intelligent structures.
In SMARTFAN, ITAINNOVA plays a significant role in WP5 Modelling-Enhanced continuum mechanics approaches. ITAINNOVA will support the development of the smart materials proposed in the project, using different type of models depending on the material property and scale required. In this sense, computational modelling will be used as a key tool for the materials design, taking into account that their properties/performance will strictly depend on their specific internal architectures. In addition, it will contribute in the following activities: development of smart materials with focus in self-healing and self-sensing (considering both thermoplastic and thermoset polymers); study of recyclability of some of the smart thermoplastics developed; characterization of the smart materials, analysis of applicability of some of the thermoplastic materials developed to FFF 3D printing techniques and testing on supercapacitance and EMS.
