چکیده
In recent years there has been tremendous research advances made in the scientific base for carbon nanotubes, and this has enabled significant improvements in the technology of carbon nanotube-based composites. The interplay between basic science and engineering has resulted in some of the most exciting accomplishments in the development of multifunctional materials. This paper highlights these accomplishments based on the hierarchical structural levels of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) used in composites. Both single walled (SWCNTs) and multi-walled (MWCNTs) carbon nanotubes have been utilized. These structural levels, ranging from 1-D to 2-D to 3-D, are highlighted below.

A Novel Method to Decrease Micro-residual Stresses of Fibrous Composites by Adding Carbon Nanotube
In this research, a novel method to decrease micro-residual stresses of fibrous composites by adding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is proposed in detail. The negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the high young’s modulus of CNTs can be utilized to counterbalance the process induced residual stresses in composites. To this end, first, the effects of adding CNTs to the matrix of fibrous composi...
