A novel 3D woven carbon fiber composite with super interlayer performance hybridized by CNT tape and copper wire simultaneously

Abstract In this work, a novel binary hybrid woven carbon nanotube (CNT) tape/copper wire fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite is prepared. The mode I interlaminar fracture toughness ( G IC ) employed to critically evaluate the delamination performance. A comparison of value with that confirms incorporating CNT tapes and copper wires into increases by 263%. transverse through-thickness direction, conductivity laminate 458 193 S/m, which increased 196 675%, respectively. thermal along thickness direction 2.27 W/m K, an increase 134%. volume fraction are as low approximately 0.87 0.47 vol%, 3D composites have potential applications in high-performance structures lightning striking protection such aircraft, ships, engines, benefits innovative implantation using tape wire.
