摘要: Abstract Several factors affect the interlaminar shear strength of carbon nanotube reinforced fiber composites in multi-scale. A combined route CNT toughening through manufacturing a custom made prepreg system with dispersion epoxy and integrating vertically aligned CNTs as nanofibers to bridge between plies is applied achieve enhanced (ILSS). Depending on loading, effectiveness bridging plies, mechanical enhancement achieved up 15%. new approach identifying critical parameters nano-engineered nano-reinforced Taguchi method novel for investigating effects several complex problem reduced number experiments studied here. L8 orthogonal array used obtain maximum ILSS by short beam (SBS) test. The parametric study has shown that most significant affecting results are type epoxy, fabrication procedure loading.
