Multiscale hybrid micro-nanocomposites based on carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers (2010, unknown): “[34] grew CNTs on carbon fibers and embedded these fibers into an epoxy matrix and reported superior interfacial bond strength between the polymer and the CNT-modified carbon fiber.”
Interlaminar toughening in structural carbon fiber/epoxy composites interleaved with carbon nanotube veils (2019, background): “surfaces can substantially improve the fracture toughness of the resulting composite more than 50% [40, 69, 70].”
Carbon nanotube grafted carbon fibres: A study of wetting and fibre fragmentation (2010, background): “Some positive results [15, 18, 19] have been reported on the improvement of critical mechanical properties of hierarchical composites with CNTgrafted fibres, including increased interlaminar shear strength [18], delamination resistance [15, 19], and hardness [15].”
Carbon fiber surfaces and composite interphases (2014, methodology): “Using thermally evaporated CNT functionalized on woven carbon fibers, fracture toughness and fatigue durability of CF/epoxy composites improved almost 50% without compromising the structural stiffness [199].”
