Abstract: The project will develop high performance three-phase polymer nanocomposite compositions with significantly improved waterproof capability, while still maintaining excellent mechanical and acoustic properties. The towed array hose can be produced using existing manufacturing process and low-cost commercial materials, facilitating the immediate deployment of this technology in US Navy undersea systems.
Benefits: The high performance three-phase nanocomposites will find broad applications in biomedical devices, oil and gas industries, as well as packaging industries.
