Multiscale modeling of carbon nanotube epoxy composites (2015, background): “The structure of the epoxy matrix at the vicinity of the CNT surface differs from the bulk epoxy due to the formation of an ultrathin epoxy layer at the CNT-epoxy interface [43].”
Computational and experimental study of interfacial bonding of single-walled nanotube reinforced composites (2004, methodology): “[28] directly measured the interfacial strength by drawing out individual SWNT ropes and MWNTs bridging across holes in an epoxy matrix using a scanning probe microscope tip.”
A critical review on nanotube and nanotube/nanoclay related polymer composite materials (2006, background): “Even though, several tensile tests on nanotube/polymer nanocomposites have been reported in the previous literatures to study the bonding behaviour between the nanotubes and the matrix [26–28], in which the interfacial shear strength ranging from 35 to 376 MPa was reported, depending on the diameter”
