Structural integrity enhancement of graphite fiber composites using nanoparticles

by Kim, Han Sang, PhD, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES, 2007, 0 pages; 3280981

Abstract: Graphite fibrous polymer composites with graphite nanoplatelets or single wall carbon nanotubes have been processed and tested for the mechanical and the electrical properties. Spray methods to incorporate nanoparticles into the composites were explored as a scalable processing method. Processing-microstructure-property relationship shows the promising aspects and the limitation of this processing method.
