Multi-scale hybrid biocomposite: Processing and mechanical characterization of bamboo fiber reinforced PLA with microfibrillated cellulose (2009, background): “For composites reinforced with cellulose fibers, dispersion is also a crucial factor toward exploiting their reinforcement potential [37,38].”
Effect of carbon nanotube length on thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of CNT/bismaleimide composites (2013, background): “posites are particularly sensitive to the tube diameter [32], since larger-diameter nanotubes with greater wall numbers may exhibit lower effective modulus due to wall slippage [33].”
Reinforcement mechanisms in MWCNT-filled polycarbonate (2006, background): “Thus, one may argue that a more appropriate selection for the effective volume fraction of MWCNTs in the sample assigns the nanotube modulus to a volume fraction based on the volume of the outer shell only (see also, for example [67]).”
Carbon nanostructures for advanced composites (2006, background): “They discovered that composite elastic properties are very dependent on the CNT diameter [233].”
