We review the literature describing the use of interleaves to increase interlaminar fracture
toughness in fibre-reinforced polymer composites and hence to improve damage tolerance …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites with hierarchical structure interleave
composed of nanoscale core-shell rubber (CSR) and microscale short carbon fiber (SCF) …

Exploring routes for the effective use of recycled carbon fibres (rCFs) is critical to close the
loop in the life cycle of carbon fibres. This work demonstrated a potential of using rCFs for …

The poor lightning strike resistance limits the application of carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer
(CFRP) composites in aircraft. Multifunctional fiber composites can reduce lightning strike …

Still today, concerns regarding delamination limit the widespread use of high-performance
composite laminates, such as carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs), to replace metals …

Nanofibrous nonwovens show high versatility and outstanding properties, with reduced
weight. Porous morphology, high material flexibility and deformability challenge their …

Delamination is the most severe weakness affecting all composite materials with a laminar
structure. Nanofibrous mat interleaving is a smart way to increase the interlaminar fracture …

Crashworthiness is the capability of a component to dissipate impact energy throughout its
deformation and failure. Composite materials are used to produce crashworthy components …

This paper aims to improve the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) composites by implanting fine z-pins with the minimum damage on in-plane …
