Prof. Anna Boczkowska has almost 30 years’ academic and research experience. She is Professor of Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering, as well as Scientific Director of TMBK Partners. Her professional experience is related to material sciences, especially composite materials, polymers, nanocomposites and smart materials. Since 2007 she has started development of CNT-doped thermoplastic veils in FP7 projects ELECTRICAL, SARISTU and up-scaling of the technology in H2020 projects PLATFORM, OASIS.

Title presentation: Up-scaling of CNT-doped thermoplastic veils production

Speaking points summary:

1. Short introduction about veils, materials, requirements
2. Motivation – end-user needs
3. Development of CNT-doped veils in lab scale (extrusion, hot pressing, properties verification)
4. Development of CNT-doped veils in pilot plant scale (melt-blown process)
5. CFRP interleaved with CNT-doped veils
6. Crucial factors affecting material properties
7. Application – commercialization possibilities
