An interlaminar reinforcement using aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is demonstrated for prepreg unidirectional carbon tape composites. Aligned CNTs are grown at high temperature and then transferprinted to prepreg at...

Buckypaper are self-supporting films of carbon nanotubes (CNT), which can be used as electrodes, nano filter or for the reinforcement of polymers, for instance. Usually they are produced by filtration of CNT dispersions. The disadvantages of filtration process are discontinuous operation, long duration of filtration and limited size of the buckypaper. The aim of this project was to develop a sp...

The main challenge in the production of metal matrix composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is the development of a manufacturing process ensuring the dispersion of nanoparticles without damaging them, and the formation of a strong bond with the metallic matrix to achieve an effective load transfer, so that the maximum reinforcement effect of CNTs will be accomplished. This research f...

Fibers and yarns based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) are emerging as a possible improvement over more traditional high strength carbon fibers used as reinforcement elements in composite materials. This is driven by a desire to translate the exceptional mechanical properties of individual CNT shells to achieve high performance macroscopic fibers and yarns. One of the central limitations in this appr...

Carbon nano-tube (CNT) reinforced metal matrix nano-composites have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to the outstanding physical and mechanical properties of CNTs. However, utilizing CNT as reinforcement for alloy matrixes has not been studies systematically and is still a challenging issue. In the present study, Cu80Fe20/10CNT nanocomposite was synthesized by mechanical ...

The subject of this research work was to analyze the structural and morphological changes TiO2 as a result incorporation CNTs interpret underlying principles for observed interactions. Hybrid TiO2/CNTs nanostructures were prepared by simplified sol-gel method followed monitoring thermally-induced alterations occurring up 400 ºC. effects different type (activated MWCNTs SWCNTs) well variation co...

C ARBON nanotubes (CNTs) have been the focus of considerable research since Iijima [1] confirmed their structure in 1991. In addition to the exceptional electronic and thermal properties associated with CNTs, they have also been reported to possess exceptional mechanical properties: for example, an extensional modulus of approximately 1 TPa and fracture strength of approximately 130 GPa for mul...
