Abstract Carbon fibre/fabric (CF) is a privileged reinforcement for advanced polymer composites in tribological applications where performance is primary criteria rather than the cost due to the combination of distinct properties such as high specific strength, thermo-oxidative resistance, thermal and electrical conductivity along with self-lubricity etc. However problems associated with its ch...

We present the implementation of aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a method to enhance properties of traditional advanced composites. The hybrid composites are 3-dimensional architectures of aligned CNTs, and existing advanced fibers and polymeric resins creating nanoengineered composites. Our work to date has focused on interlaminar strength and toughness, and electrical and thermal conductiv...

a new simple and reliable method for rapid and selective extraction and determination of trace levels of zn(ii) ion is developed. zn(ii) ions are adsorbed quantitatively during passage of aqueous samples through pet-aa/aam nano fiber modified. almost all matrix elements were found to pass through the nano fiber to drain. modified poly (ethylene terephthalate)-grafted-acrylic acid/acryl amide na...

An effort is made to gain insight on the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the impact response of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRs) under low velocity impact. Certain amount of CNTs could lead improvements in mechanical properties of composites. In the present investigation, ABAQUS/Explicit finite element code (FEM) is employed to investigate various damages modes of nano composites ...

semiconducting carbon nanofibers (cnf) are prepared from three different sources, i.e., acetylene, ethanol, and cotton by the chemical vapor deposition (cvd) process. these fibers are having rich elastic, engineering and conductivity properties. fresh self-compacting concrete (scc) flows into place and around obstructions under its own weight to fill the formwork completely and self-compact, wi...

a simple method has been developed for the preconcentration of copper(ii) based on the adsorption of its modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber. modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber (panf) was prepared by adding of acrylic fibers to msethanolamine (mma) with different concentration solutions. the stability of a chemically modified nano polyacrylonitrile fiber especially in concentrated hydrochl...

Abstract Environmental space threats are becoming more critical as they affect the optical, thermal, and electrical properties of reinforced fiber polymeric-based materials in spacecraft. Three different Nano-particles Alumina (Al 2 ,O 3 ), Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT), Reduced Graphene Oxide (RGO) were added to epoxy matrix then by bidirectional carbon plain form fiber/epoxy hand lay-up ...

ozone modification method and air-oxidation were used for the surface treatment of polyacrylonitrile(pan)-based carbon fiber. the surface characteristics of carbon fibers were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps). the interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (cf/pa6) composites were investigated by means of the single fiber pull-out tests. as a result, it...

Abstract—The main objective of this paper is study the influence of carbon nano-tubes fibers and nano silica fibers on the characteristic compressive strength and flexural strength on concrete and cement mortar. Twelve tested specimens were tested with square section its dimensions (4040 160) mm, divided into four groups. The first and second group studied the effect of carbon nano-tubes (CNT...
