his review aims to summarize the available and promising
applications of advanced composites structures in defence
and space industries. Advanced composite materials and
especially nanocomposites being multi-functional, which can
have enhanced mechanical, thermal and electrical properties
all at once thanks to recent research on nano additives. Multi
functional materials bring added advantages other than their
well known lowstructural weight thus they are further attractive
in applications where weight and functional properties are
critical. Structural health monitoring and self healing/reparing
technologies involving nano composites are adapted to many
parts which have long service life and damage problems under
severeenvironments.Therefore,severalsectorssuchasdefence,
aerospace, and transportation accelerated their research on
advanced composite materials. This effort led to increased
industrial applications which in turn gave rise to several startling
side effects such as effects on occupational health and safety.
Use of nano particles in industrial environments require special
caution especially in case of long term exposure due to their
unique properties.
In this review, the influence of nano particles such as carbon
nanotubes, graphenes and nanosilica on the properties of
composites, nanocomposite production methods, difficulties
in integration into conventional and advanced composite
production techniques will be discussed. The main focus will be
on promising applications in defence and space industries will
be discussed.
