Fatigue Evaluation of Nanocomposites as Lightweight Electronic Enclosures for Satellites' Applications

The book delves into the development of a novel material designed to enhance conductivity and electromagnetic shielding for satellite applications, addressing the limitations of existing nanocomposites that require metal shields. It focuses on the innovative M55J/RS3 material, which combines carbon fibers with a polyisocyanate matrix and incorporates nickel nanostrands. The research examines the material's electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) properties under cyclic loads, using various symmetric layup configurations to optimize performance.
