Abstract
Application of structural material in aerospace and defence industries is very essential. Structural material with better thermal stability of temperatures ranging from 900 oC and above and also has quality that include better strength to weight ratio and better material indices is required in fighter jet manufacturing. Carbon fibre-reinforced (CFRP) provides ultimate utility as material in fighter jet. This as a result of indices such as good wear resistance and structural stability at temperatures up to 3000 ◦C in inert environments. This paper characterised nano-carbon fibre reinforced polymer (nCFRP) as fighter jet turbine engine exhaust nozzle lining material. The characterisation includes physiochemical analysis and mechanical analysis. Properties such as density, thermal stability, morphology, strength and elongation were investigated. The findings showed that physicochemical properties of nCFRP) include thermal stability of 850 oC, 1.67 g/cm3 , low thermal conductivity, recrystallisation occurred at 120 oC with peak energy of 31 mW. nCFRP has ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 2650 MPa with, yield ratio of 0.05. The findings indicate nCFRP has high strength weight ratio and it can be used as turbine lining material for exhaust nozzle where material temperature with thermal stability of above 1000 oC is needed.

Key words: nCFRP, Characterisation, Fighter jet , nozzle lining material
