On the tensile behavior of an embedded carbon nanotube in polymer matrix with non-bonded interphase region (2010, background): “Interfacial bonding in the interphase region between embedded CNT and its surrounding polymer is a crucial issue for the load transfer and reinforcement phenomena [5–11].”
Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Titanium Metal Matrix Composites Prepared by Powder Metallurgy—A Review (2015, background): “Applied load on metal matrix composites is transferred to reinforcement through the metal matrix.(42,85,86) In this regard the metal-reinforcement interface plays a vital role in determining the final properties and load-carrying capabilities of composites.”
Enhanced Fracture Properties of Carbon Reinforced Composites by the Addition of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (2009, background): “In case of random alignment of the tubes, most of the nanotubes are not in the direction of loading and act as defects in the composite instead of enhancing the mechanical strength; this results in degradation of the composite performance [24].”
