| Abstract Scope |
The rapidly evolving sensor industry for aerospace applications demands the development of multifunctional materials with enhanced electrical, thermal, and radiation shielding properties. There exists a growing demand for sensors capable of withstanding space radiation while exhibiting tailorable electrical and thermal characteristics. In this study, we present the fabrication and characterization of hybrid foams composed of Boron Nitride Nanoplatelets (BNNP) and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNP). These hybrid foams were fabricated through a freeze-drying process, resulting in highly porous structures. We investigated the sensing capabilities of these foams by evaluating their response to mechanical stimuli. In addition, we evaluated the neutron radiation shielding properties of the foams. The combination of neutron radiation shielding provided by BNNP and electrical conductivity imparted by GNP holds promising potential for the development of high-performance sensors suitable for aerospace applications. This study advances sensor technologies with multifunctional and tailorable materials. |
