In situ stabilized carbon nanofiber (CNF) reinforced epoxy nanocomposites

“…Incorporation of inorganic fillers, such as fibers, particles with micrometric or nanometric dimensions, into polymeric materials has been a common way to fabricate high-performance materials in modern industries. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) concentrate on the fabrication of advanced materials, which combine the advantages of both polymer and nanomaterials. Such materials have attracted considerable attention in both academic and industrial fields in recent years for their diverse potential applications such as energy storage devices, 8,9 electronics, [10][11][12] sensors, [13][14][15][16] and bio-applications.…”

The Effects of Alumina Nanofillers on Mechanical Properties of High-Performance Epoxy Resin

“…[1][2][3] In spite of their excellent performance, epoxy resins are inherently brittle and very sensitive to cracks, which largely limit its application in some fields. 4 In order to toughen epoxy, multiphase composites filled with various organic additives, such as rubbers 5 and thermoplastics 6 7 have been developed.…”

“…Thus, the commonly applied toughening agents (e.g., rubber and thermoplastics) become to be impracticable. In the last decade various nanofillers such as silicon dioxide (SiO 2 , [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] titanium dioxide (TiO 2 15-18 and aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 18-23 25 etc. have been systematically studied to improve the properties of epoxy resin, i.e., stiffness, * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.…”

Fabrication and mechanical properties of TiO2 polymer‐matrix nanocomposite and its 3D woven composite

“…Results depicted that the in‐plane shear strength and compressive strengths are enhanced by 20% and 10%, respectively. He et al [ 46 ] and Cho et al [ 47 ] reported that the compressive and flexural strength properties of carbon fiber reinforced laminate composites can be enhanced by adding nanomaterials into the epoxy matrix. During the past years, Bilisik et al [ 48–55 ] claimed the improvement of the properties such as tensile strength, low‐velocity impact, compressive strength after impact, shear strength, flexural strength, and fracture toughness on account to the introduction of nanostitched 3D composites.…”
