Increasing the interfacial strength in carbon fiber/epoxy composites by controlling the orientation and length of carbon nanotubes grown on the fibers (2011, background): “The fracture mode at the interface between fibers and matrix is the crack propagation mode, which is different from the interface debonding of fibers reinforced composites [4,7,9,25,26].”
Carbon nanotube grafted carbon fibres: A study of wetting and fibre fragmentation (2010, methodology): “Improvement in interfacial properties have also been reported using this type of hierarchical structure [12, 17, 22, 23].”
Recent advances in fiber/matrix interphase engineering for polymer composites (2015, background): “Results received with nanoindentation of composites with hierarchical fibers suggested that this technique may be problematic owing to the onset of locally arising stresses [161].”
