Composites materials are combinations of two or more organic or inorganic components Consist of high strength nano fibers embedded in a matrix Materials are:
Matrix material: material that holds everything together. e g . epoxy, bismaleimide, or polyimide. o Fibers: serve as a reinforcement, embedded in the matrix. e g. glass fiber, boron fiber, carbon fiber

Nano Fibers are laid out in tape or fabric form put in a mold under heat and pressure. The resin matrix flows over nano fibers Heat is remover and it solidifies. It can be formed into various shapes. In some cases, the fibers are wound tightly to increase strength.

Traditionally used: Aluminum metal Aluminum made planes heavier, consume more fuel Fiberglass was first used in the Boeing 707 passenger jet in the 1950s, only 2% of the structure. Now , about one-third of the structure of the commercial planes uses composites

DEICING
When a plane is in the air, icing can occur planes performance suffers and disasters can occur. Currently used techniques: use bleed air: heating the surface with engine bleed air mechanical boot: breaking the bond between surface and ice Issues: Too complex, too heavy draws too much power to be effective

DEICING
is based on nano technology weighs 1/100th of current ice protection systems uses simple painting methods can be applied to a variety of curved surfaces without needing a custom heater pad design.
How?
sprayed on planes prior to flight. carbon nanotube coating is applied to surfaces then energize that coating using the planes on-board electrical system. causes the nanotube coating to heat up, thus preventing ice from forming.
MILITARY APPLICATIONS
Satellites weighing 15 tons or more derive 1/3 of their weight from copper harnesses Boeing 747 uses up to 135 of copper wire that can weight more than 4000 pounds Copper wires also oxidize and corrode, are susceptible to vibration fatigue, and create premature electronics failures due to overheating conditions. Will replace copper wiring on aerospace systems with carbon nanotube sheets
MILITARY APPLICATIONS
Conductive coating to be used on jet fighter canopies - clear bubbles that cover planes' cockpits - for the US air force Coating will improve electromagnetic shielding and electrostatic discharge to prevent electronic disruption

S5 Rebuttal of Presentation 2
S5 feels that for the most part, the criticism was accurate and just. Laura should have tried to memorize the material to a greater extent and not read from notes as much. Pradip had extensive writing on his slides, as the audience reviewed on. Jason could have put more effort into his slides and rehearsed his part. More research would have been good too. One of the reviews commented on the irrelevance of the futuristic things that NASA is working on as they are too far in the future, however, these are big projects and definitely worth focusing on now. I think that we should have discussed the space elevatorit shows that NASA is aimed toward highly technological advances and is focused on succeeding in their goals.
Presenters answered questions with further information than what was presented Enough presentation was presented by the first presenters to make up for lack of information by the fourth presenter.
Laura was able to get the audiences attention; however, less reading from notes would have increased interaction with audience.
One of the slides from composite material section seemed overcrowded as well as the last two slides

Positive Aspects
Appearance of the Slides
The layout was professional Figures were relevant to the concepts being described and helped with understanding Text to figure ratio was acceptable
Oral Presentation
For the most part, the presenters seemed prepared with the use of minimal filler words and good posture and body language
Positives
Slides were well-made and contained a nice text-to-
image ratio. Speaking was fairly good through the first three presenters. Contained a lot of good technical information regarding the applications, especially in regard to the Advanced Composite Materials slides.
very nervous and unsure of himself. His entire section was very short and was read completely off the slides, with his speaking adding nothing to the presentation. Rehearsal would have greatly helped! Use of the video by NASA was somewhat distracting. The information from the video should have just been incorporated into your slides, with you presenting the information. This would have reinforced your position as the experts on the topic, rather than deferring to outside expertise. Occasional format discrepancies between slides (e.g. different bullets, inconsistent capitalization, etc.) Speakers seemed to be lacking knowledge of the material during the Q/A section, especially regarding the space elevator.
Good Things
Slides looked very professional.
Pictures were vibrant and great attention grabbers. Laura and Trevor were very strong presenters, they did
a great job of keeping the attention of the audience and delivering their message. Prapid was a good presenter, but was soft spoken. Just needed to speak up and show more energy.
did not appear to be well rehearsed- giant pause at the beginning. His section was less developed than other sections of the presentation. All these things can be easily fixed by rehearsing and putting more time into preparation. Laura read from notes. Try to have more memorized, but it was not that distracting.
Punctuation should be consistent throughout slide (have all statements start with a capital letter & use clauses OR complete sentences). Some slides had too many words on them. This takes the attention away from your main point you are trying to get across.
Presentation Review
Slide layout was agreeable and pleasant to look at. The text on the slides seemed to be occasionally light on content in the presentation. The presentation was detailed and well thought out. The final comment holds true throughout both of the presentations: the final presenter was sub-par when compared with the rest of the group. Everybody has difficulties when it comes to presentations, but practice serves to eliminate these difficulties. The fact that there was no improvement between the presentations means that no effort has been made to improve, and this is unfair to the rest of your group.
Critique of Information
The applications of nanotechnology in aerospace were very interesting. Some of the applications appear to be so far in the future that they are not worth mentioning, such as the space elevator. Would have liked to see an analysis for the time estimate to implement the carbon nano-tubes in the replacing copper wires. Since there are other advancing aerospace programs, we would have liked to know about any other applications that these programs are exploring. We would like to know if these programs are progressing in this research more rapidly then NASA.
