Abstract
Epoxy resin has been employed as an important matrix for aerospace composite and nanocomposite. In this chapter, latent and essential features of carbon nanotube (CNT) nanofiller have been considered with reference to aeronautical application. Consequently, epoxy/carbon nanotube nanocomposite are conversed here for space competency. Inclusion of CNT in epoxy resin affected the prerequisite features of space nanocomposite. Dispersion of nanotube has been altered using suitable processing technique. Uniform nanotube network formation affects mechanical, electrical, and other physical properties of nanocomposite. Key application areas in this regard are flame and thermal stability, strength, lightning strike resistance, and radiation shielding of space vehicles. Further investigations to optimize structure and properties of multiscale epoxy/CNT nanocomposite are needed for future success in the field. Hence, towards the end, challenges and future prospects of epoxy/CNT nanocomposite have also been deliberated for the improvement of nanomaterial properties for aerospace relevance.

Functionalization of Carbon Nanocomposites with Ruthenium Bipyridine and Terpyridine Complex
A carbon nanotube is a tube-shaped material, made of carbon and has a diameter measuring on the nanometer scale. The graphite layer appears somewhat like a rolled-up wire with a continuous unbroken hexagonal mesh and carbon molecules at the apexes of the hexagons.

Conductive Probe Microscopy Investigation of Electrical and Charge Transport in Advanced Carbon Nanotubes and Nanofibers-Polymer Nanocomposites
Macro-molecule of carbon analogous to a sheet of graphite rolled into a cylinder. There are single-walled (one atomistic layer of graphene) and multi-walled carbone nanotubes. Their diameter ranges from fractions of nanometer to few tens of nanometers. They have a significantly higher aspect ratio than any materials reaching 132,000,000:1.
