Mechanical properties of carbon fiber/fullerene-dispersed epoxy composites

Dramatic mechanical and thermal increments of thermoplastic composites by multi-scale synergetic reinforcement: Carbon fiber and graphene nanoplatelet

“…In this sense, it is quite beneficial to incorporate nanoscale fillers such as fullerene [13,14], clay [6,15] and CNT [16][17][18] into polymer/CF systems to enhance mechanical properties of the composites. This approach benefits from the micro-scale reinforcement provided by traditional CF and from the complementary reinforcement on the nanoscale offered by clay or CNT.…”

Effect of C60 filling on structure and properties of composite films based on polystyrene

“…Insertion of fillers, such as fullerenes, results in modification of the original polymer matrix, which can lead to creation of materials with improved physical and chemical properties and the main service characteristics (mechanical, electrical). There are numerous publications that deal with the mechanical, optical, tribological, thermochemical properties and structure of polymers containing fullerene (Badamshina and Gafurova, 2008;Alekseeva et al, 2012;Weng et al, 1999;Jiang et al, 2008;Tajima et al, 1997;Ogasawara et al, 2009;Zhao et al, 2013).…”

Multiscale carbon fiber‐graphene oxide reinforcements for silicone resin composites with simultaneously enhanced interfacial strength and antihydrothermal aging behaviors

“…Carbon fibers (CFs) with a unique combination of high tensile strength, good thermal resistance, and light weight have been widely used as ideal reinforcements for advanced polymer composites in the automotive and aerospace industries . Ii is widely accepted that the properties of composites are closely related to the interface between CFs and matrix resin . A good quality of interface helps to transmit the stress efficiently from matrix resin to the fibers by reducing stress concentration, and thus enhances the overall properties .…”
