The skin/core interphase area of sandwich composites is considered a shortcoming owing to
its low debonding toughness. To address this issue, it is essential to establish an …

Generally, glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites are made in the form of laminated
composites. Due to the weak adhesion between the fiber and the polymer matrix, failure in …

Strong, tough, and lightweight composites are increasingly needed for diverse applications,
from wind turbines to cars and aircraft. These composites typically contain sheets of strong …

The study focuses on the improvement of the interlaminar fracture toughness of Carbon
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) with graphene oxide (GO) and multi-walled carbon …

A comprehensive experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the toughening
behavior of polyethersulfone (PES) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) interleaf with similar …

Composite sandwich panels with pyramidal lattice truss cores (CSPPLTCs) were
manufactured employing waterjet-cutting technology and interlocking assembly. The effect …

Abstract Unidirectional Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) laminates were prepared by
inserting three-dimensional (3D) CNTs/carbon black film or CNTs/graphene oxide (GO) film …

Hierarchical toughening is commonly found in natural materials such as teeth, bone and
seashells, which have evolved to withstand mechanical stresses. The incorporation of this …

This paper presents both experimental and numerical studies on bolted glass fiber
reinforced polymer (GFRP) joints subjected to uniaxial tension and different thermal …

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates nano-enhanced with carbon nanofibers
(CNFs): 0.75 wt% and 0.5 wt% of epoxies Sicomin and Ebalta, respectively, were …
