Fibre-hybrid composites are composed of two or more fibre types in a matrix. Such
composites offer more design freedom than non-hybrid composites. The aim is often to …

Fibre-reinforced composites are rapidly increasing their market share in structural
applications. Nevertheless, this increase would be much stronger if reliable failure …

Presenting a wealth of completely revised examples and new information, Introduction to
Composite Materials Design, Second Edition greatly improves on the bestselling first edition …

We use molecular dynamics simulations to characterize multilayer graphene reinforced
epoxy composites. We focus on two configurations, one where the graphene layers are …

The change of microstructure of PAN-based carbon fibers has been studied as a function of
heat-treatment temperature (1,800–2,800° C, stretching 0%) by Raman spectroscopy and X …

Thermal stabilization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibres is an essential step in the carbon fibre
manufacturing process. The formation of radial heterogeneity in polyacrylonitrile precursor …

Evolution of microstructure and electrical property in the conversion of high strength carbon
fiber (HSCF) to high modulus carbon fiber (HMCF) and ultrahigh modulus carbon fiber …

Additive manufacturing (AM) of polymer composites with continuous fibers could play a
major role in the future of aerospace and beyond but will require printed materials to achieve …

Polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers are cryogenically conditioned both through a low
cooling rate and a quench rate to explore the effects of cryogenic treatments on properties …

This study presented an economic and closed-loop recycling approach of carbon fibre
reinforced polymers (CFRP) comprising phosphoric acid derived efficient reclaimation of …
