Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a composite material comprising a thermoplastic adhesive and nanotubes oriented in the in-plane orientation. In additional aspects, the disclosure includes a laminated armor material comprising the composite and armor materials.
Claims29
A composite material comprising:
- a) an adhesive;
- and
- b) nanotubes;
- wherein the composite material is in a sheet-like formation having x, y and z dimensions, wherein the measurement of the z dimension is less than the x and y dimensions, and wherein a portion of the nanotubes are oriented within the plane in the x and y dimensions of the composite material, and wherein the in-plane orientation of the nanotubes is sufficient to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the adhesive.
