Effect of Different Types of Electrospun Polyamide 6 Nanofibres on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fibre/Epoxy Composites

Abstract: Delamination and brittle matrix fracture have long since been the biggest problems in fibre-reinforced composites. Recently, the incorporation of electrospun nanofibre veils has been shown to be an effective method for improving the mechanical properties of these composites, without causing process problems and negatively affecting other mechanical properties. Thus, these nanofibres have the potential to be used as thickness-reinforcing materials in composites. This paper investigates the effect of incorporati… Show more

“…For the development of PA6 electrospun nanofibres membranes, a 12 wt% of polyamide 6 was dissolved in a mixture 2:1 of acetic acid:formic acid via mechanical stirring vigorously (1200 rpm) for 2 h at 80 °C. The nanofibres have been produced using a multijet electrospinning setup Nanospider™ from Elmarco (Liberec, Czech Republic) [15,28]. This device allowed for producing large uniform nanofibrous structures that were easy to scale to higher dimensions.…”

“…Refs. [18,19], these results could not be reproduced by us without providing the polyamide nanofibers with a matrix-compatible shell made from polycaprolactone to increase its adhesion with the matrix [14,16]. The interplay of the nanofiber intrinsic mechanical properties and the adhesive interaction with the matrix material is thus highly important as pointed out by several research groups as well [5,6,[20][21][22][23].…”

“…Recent literature indicates that nanofibers may contribute substantially to the ductility and fracture toughness of the composites [25,26,27]. The improvement is highly dependent on the type of thermoplastic and of their intrinsic properties [28]. The electrospinning technology also provides the possibility of including charges inside the nanofibers, which can improve their mechanical properties or give them different properties.…”

“…These antimicrobial functionalities can be introduced through different methods such as surface treatment or the incorporation of additives like antibiotics, biocides [29,30,31], or active agents. These agents include silver nanoparticles and nanoparticles of metals and metal oxides [32,33] such as Zn [34], Ti [28,35,36,37], Cu [38], Co [39], and combinations of Zn and Ti [40,41,42,43,44] among others [45,46]. The availability of functional nanofibers for the development of composite materials can be a great advantage in many sectors.…”
