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 …

Several environmental and techno-economic assessments highlighted the advantage of
placing polystyrene-based materials in a circular loop, from production to waste generation …

Modeling and simulation is transforming modern materials science, becoming an important
tool for the discovery of new materials and material phenomena, for gaining insight into the …

To overcome strength-ductility trade-off in particulate metal matrix composites (PRMMCs),
we developed a novel and controllable strategy, for the first time, via a combination of …

To enhance the interfacial properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites, a layer of carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) about 25–30 nm thickness was deposited on carbon fiber surface at low …

It is common in the composites literature to find usage of terminology that is a legacy of
monolithic materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers. With the aim of alleviating …

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 …

This chapter aims at exploring the promising aspects in polymer-based nanocomposites
(PNCs) for energy and environmental related applications. Conducting polymer (CP)-based …

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 …

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs)–carbon fibers (CFs) hybrid materials were produced by
directly growing CNTs on CFs by means of chemical vapor deposition. For the latter, the …
