Joining prepreg composite interfaces with aligned carbon nanotubes (2008, background): “The interface between plies in advanced composites is far more accessible from a processing standpoint than the laminate interior, and several studies have realized marginal to significant nano-modified interfacial properties using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and CNTs at laminate interfaces [11,15–18].”

Enhanced interphase between epoxy matrix and carbon fiber with carbon nanotube-modified silane coating (2014, background): “MWCNTs, when being incorporated into coating or matrix, can effectively suppress the formation and propagation of micro-cracks in the interphase between fiber and matrix through pull-out and bridging effects [25–27].”
