“…In addition, they can be attached to, or grown on the carbon fibres (called - fuzzy fibres )56. Grown or attached, CNTs are not required to be distributed into a polymer matrix (where harmful functionalisation to the CNTs is necessary) and they do not increase the viscosity of the polymer matrix to the detriment of the processing of the composite478910.…”

Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) were introduced to the aerospace, automobile and civil engineering industries for their high strength and low weight. A key feature of CFRP is the polymer sizing - a coating applied to the surface of the carbon fibres to assist handling, improve the interfacial adhesion between fibre and polymer matrix and allow this matrix to wet-out the carbon fibres. In this paper, we introduce an alternative material to the polymer sizing, namely carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the carbon fibres, which in addition imparts electrical and thermal functionality. High quality CNTs are grown at a high density as a result of a 35 nm aluminium interlayer which has previously been shown to minimise diffusion of the catalyst in the carbon fibre substrate. A CNT modified-CFRP show 300%, 450% and 230% improvements in the electrical conductivity on the ‘surface’, ‘through-thickness’ and ‘volume’ directions, respectively. Furthermore, through-thickness thermal conductivity calculations reveal a 107% increase. These improvements suggest the potential of a direct replacement for lightning strike solutions and to enhance the efficiency of current de-icing solutions employed in the aerospace industry.

“…Figure 4 [ 78 ] depicts the growing of CNTs on carbon fabric. The most common direct integration techniques of CNTs are the CVD, [ 79–88 ] EPD, [ 89–91 ] transfer printing (transplantation), [ 92 ] interleaving CNTs between the plies, [ 93–95 ] manual spreading or spraying of CNT powder [ 96 ] on prepregs, and chemical grafting [ 97–103 ] methods. These techniques have been of tremendous research as they can facilitate the high density of CNTs at selective sites and diminish the problems that arise when mixing CNTs with matrix materials.…”

Carbon nanotube integrated textile structural composites are one of the demanded materials especially for space/aerospace and defense industries in the 21st century due to their better damage tolerance properties compared to the metal and ceramics. This review paper exclusively performed on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added carbon fiber/epoxy multiscale composites, including recent innovative methods of integrating CNTs to carbon filaments using the direct method such as growing on fiber, chemical grafting, and nanostitching or indirect methods such as mixing with matrix and application via lay-up and dip coating. In addition, various composite fabrication techniques, including vacuum bag molding, resin transfer molding, and resin film infusion molding techniques were discussed. Critical thermo-mechanical and electrical properties considering numerous micromechanics based composite modeling and computational analysis were explained. The review concludes that CNTs added carbon fiber/epoxy multiscale composites possess considerable potential in the use of advanced nanocomposites applications.

“…For example, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on carbon fibers are speculated to improve the interfacial bonding in FRC due to the high mechanical strength, high surface area and good substrate adhesion [21]. Extensive research efforts have been devoted to grow CNTs on carbon fibers while the diameter, length and crystallinity of the as-grown CNTs can be effectively controlled [22][23][24][25]. Techniques of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are widely applied to grow CNTs on carbon fiber surface ( Figure 1).…”

To further improve and upgrade the existing functions of carbon fibers, and to endow the carbon fiber with new and desired functions, the most effective and economic way is to create nanostructures on the carbon fiber surface. The carbon fibers with nanostructures grown on the surface, or namely nanostructured carbon fibers, not only maintain the intrinsic high strength, light weight, high thermal conductivity of carbon fiber, but also obtain significant functional enhancements in mechanical properties, interfacial bonding and electrocatalytic property. Different kinds of nanostructures, such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanotubes, nanosheets, and nanoflowers, are controllably grown on the surface of carbon fibers by using various kinds of techniques, including chemical vapor deposition (CVD), laser ablation, microwave treatment, and hydrothermal process. These multiscale, multifunctional nanostructured carbon fibers not only add new and interesting branches to the carbon fiber family, but also pave the way for the application of carbon fibers in next-generation fiber-reinforced composite, energy storage device and green energy production.
