TOPIC: Hydrogen and Fuel Cells

Company
Applied Nanotech, Inc.
3006 Longhorn Blvd.
Austin, TX 78758-

Title
Ultra Lightweight High Pressure Hydrogen Fuel Tanks Reinforced With Carbon Nanotubes

Summary
One effective way to lower the weight, thus decreasing the carbon fiber usage and lowering the cost, of a CFRP tank is to improve the mechanical properties of the CFRP composite resin matrix using nano-reinforcement. This project will reduce the cost of the carbon fiber by 30-40% by reducing the weight of the CFRP composite by 30-40% reinforced with CNTs used in the
structure of the high pressure hydrogen fuel tank, while maintaining or improving the performance of the tank at the regular weight while the fuel efficiency is significantly improved.
