摘要: The current study is focused on exploring the possibility of reinforcing syntactic foams with carbon nanofibers (CNFs). Syntactic are hollow, particle-filled composites that widely used in marine structures and now finding applications other modes transportation due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio. compressive properties reinforced CNFs characterized over strain rate range 10−4 3,000 s−1, which covers seven orders magnitude. results show despite lower density respect neat epoxy, CNF/syntactic can have up 7.3% 15.5% higher quasi-static strength modulus, respectively, for compositions were study. In addition, these be tailored a wide by means hollow particle wall thickness volume fraction, CNF fraction. also shown generally increase factor 3.41 increasing when high-strain-rate testing data compared. Extensive microscopy conducted understand failure energy absorption mechanisms. Crack bridging observed specimens, delay final capacity specimens. Deformation noticed material microstructure. deformation mechanisms related test structure CNFs.
