TL;DR: An alternative method for improving the interfacial and tensile properties of carbon fiber composites by controlling the fiber-matrix interface was developed and such multiscale reinforced composites show great potential with their improved mechanical performance to be likely applied in the aerospace and automotive industries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and facile route has been developed to prepare graphene oxide reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) composites and synthesize simultaneously PA6 grafted GO hybrid materials: e-caprolactam (CL) was firstly fixed onto the GO sheets coupling by 4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate), and then PA6 was grafted from the GO surface by in situ anionic ring-opening polymerization.

TL;DR: In this article, polypropylene (PP)/multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composites were prepared through dynamic packing injection molding, in which the oscillatory shear was exerted on the molten composite during packing and solidification stage of injection-molding.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new surface treatment has been developed to graft the amine-capped crosslinked polyphosphazenes (ACP) onto carbon fibers as a novel coupling agent through in situ polycondensation between hexachlorocyclotriphosphrasene (HCCP) and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (DDE) under mild reaction conditions, and maleic anhydride grafted PP (M-PP) was used as the matrix.

TL;DR: In this article, a layer of amine-capped poly (cyclotriphosphazene-co -4,4′-oxydianiline) was introduced onto the carbon fiber surfaces by a facile in-situ polymerization under mild condition.
