Carbon fiber reinforcements with an excellent mechanical performance to weight ratio are
primarily preferred for advanced composite applications. The poor interfacial adhesion …

This paper reviews recent developments in carbon fibers. Intensive studies focus on
relationships among processing conditions, chemical/physical structures and tensile …

An effective method for bonding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto carbon fibers (CFs) surface
via layer-by-layer (LBL) grafting method is reported here. The CNTs have been chemically …

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

The introduction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into fiber-reinforced polymer composites has
been achieved predominantly via two routes: mixing CNTs entirely throughout the matrix …

A highly effective hydroxylated-functionalization of carbon fibres for use as electrodes of all-
vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) was developed. Carbon paper made of carbon fibres …

The nanoporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)“armor” is in situ intergrown onto the
surfaces of carbon fibers (CFs) by nitric acid oxidization to supply nucleation sites and …

Petroleum asphaltenes, a by-product of crude oil extraction, are a promising feedstock for
the development of high-value carbonaceous materials because of their high carbon content …

Glass fibers (GF) are the reinforcement agent most used in polypropylene (PP) based
composites, as they have good balance between properties and costs. However, their final …

Commercial carbon fiber (CF) sizing agent is generally characterized by poor temperature
resistance and incompatibility with polyamide resin, which adversely affects the interfacial …
