An apparatus includes a first component that has a first coefficient of thermal expansion, a fastener that extends at least partially through the first component. The fastener has a second coefficient of thermal expansion that is different than the first coefficient of thermal expansion. The apparatus also includes a nano-tube mesh coupled to outer surfaces of the first component and fastener. Further, the apparatus includes a second component applied to the nano-tube mesh and outer surface of the first component. The nano-tube mesh may include carbon nano-tubes and/or nitrogen-doped carbon nano-tubes.
