Additional information

Future industrial use of carbon-nanotube modified resins requires effective in-situ real-time monitoring tools. Paper is culmination of nanocomposites cure investigations initiated from prestigious "Speculative Research in Engineering" EPSRC project (EP/C509730/1, £248k, 2005-8). Work was part of first-author Battisti's industry-sponsored PhD and offers first model for monitoring creation of nanotube structures within curing polyester via dielectric measurements. Industry partner was granted restriction on PhD thesis to allow for commercial exploitation [contact: Global Business Manager, Scott Bader Co.]. Battisti went on to gain prestigious post at EMPA (Switzerland).
