TL;DR: In this article, a carbon fiber/graphene oxide-epoxy hybrid composites were used to improve the mechanical properties of polymer composites, and graphene oxide was used as one of the filler for the development of carbon fiber composite.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple analytical model for the initial stiffness of the corrugated composites is developed, and the predictions are compared with the experimental results, and some improvements, installing of stiff rod and flexible rubber, are attempted for the creation of smooth aerodynamic surface and the improvement of stiffness.

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental results of the mechanical properties of three-phase CFRP laminates consisting of traditional carbon fibers and epoxy matrix modified using cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) in comparison to those of CFRP without CSCNT are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated several strength properties as well as the damage resistance properties of carbon fiber/toughened epoxy composite laminates for the applicability of thin-ply prepregs to aircraft structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the damage accumulation behaviors in carbon fiber reinforced nanocomposite laminates under tensile loading and found that the dispersion of CSCNT resulted in fracture toughness improvement and residual thermal strain decrease, which is considered to cause the retardation of matrix crack formation.
