    12M Progress Report. Period concerning this report: 01.01.2018-31.12.2018.
    (Zenodo, 2018-12-30) Glaskova-Kuzmina, Tatjana
    During the first year of the project the main purpose was to choose, purchase and develop investigated materials: epoxy resin and at least two carbon nanofillers (nanotubes, nanofibres and/or graphene). The most promising material solution and the most optimal processing route were chosen and reported. Then two sets of epoxy and NC specimens were developed during Mobilities#2-3 to partner organization, Institute for Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials (Portici, Italy). The test specimens of epoxy and NC were subjected to environmental ageing: water absorption at 70 °C until equilibrium water content and heating at 70 °C, then freezing at ap. -20 °C to evaluate the most environmentally stable NC configuration. Based on preliminary results (without results after freezing), the most environmentally stable NC was epoxy filled with 0.1 wt. % of CNT/CNF, which had the lowest effect of temperature and moisture on thermal and electrical conductivities, along with the lowest equilibrium water content and diffusivity.

    Dissemination/Communication Report. Period concerning this report: 01.01.2019-31.12.2019.
    (Zenodo, 2019-12-03) Glaskova-Kuzmina, Tatjana
    During the second year of the project implementation different dissemination/communication activities were carried out. The scientific results of the project were presented on two conferences ICSAAM 2019, September 12-15, 2019 (Ischia, Italy) and DFMN 2019, November 19-22, 2019 (Moscow, Russia). Based on the conference presentation two conference full papers were prepared and submitted for the publication in conference proceedings having open access and indexed in Scopus. One scientific publication was published in the special issue of Polymers (Q1 open access journal, IF 3.2). For the dissemination of information among general public professional FACEBOOK profile was regularly updated with press releases regarding the project activities. The project profile “Environmental effects on physical properties of smart composites and fibre-reinforced plastics modified by carbonaceous nanofillers for structural applications” was updated with annual reports at open-access database ZENODO (www.zenodo.org) under community POSTDOC-Latvia providing open-access to all published materials. Both profiles will be also regularly updated with actual project results during the last year of project implementation.
