What is the Research Question? How do (MWCNT) Multi Wall Carbon Nanotubes affect the electrical and thermal conductivity in carbon- nanotube-epoxy composites?

Multifunctional Material A multifunctional material is one that has mechanical properties and at least one other property of interest (e.g. electrical, thermal…) in a given application.
