Recent advancements in the preparation of all-carbon multi-scale fibers and their use in
carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced polymer composites are reviewed. A multi-scale or hierarchical …

Hierarchical design down to the nanoscale has become possible in structural composite
materials with the discovery of carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and …

Few studies have been conducted to monitor inter-fiber deformations in fiber-reinforced
composites. In the present work, we demonstrate full-field strain measurements in the …

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 …

In this work, a strategy is proposed to construct an interfacial transition layer with CNTs to
simultaneously strengthen and toughen composites. Combining CNTs with carbon fiber …

The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method was used to deposit polyethylenimine (PEI)
functionalized multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) films onto the surface of individual S-2 glass …

This study is focused on the mechanical properties and stress transfer behavior of multiscale
composites containing nano-and micro-scale reinforcements. The distinctive feature of …

For the inadequate interlaminar strength of 2D carbon/carbon (C/C) composite, in-situ grown
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforcing strategy was put forward to strengthen the interlaminar …

While poor dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is often blamed for degradation of
properties of CNT reinforced polymers and their composites, the evidence that CNT …

This article deals with the multiscale modeling of stress transfer characteristics of nano-
reinforced polymer composite reinforced with regularly staggered carbon fibers. The …
