Design and Reinforcement: Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube-Based Sandwich Composites
TL;DR: This work has designed and fabricated VACNT-based sandwich composites from simply stacking the freestanding VacNTs and CF fabrics and infiltrating with epoxy matrix, which exhibit higher flexural rigidity and damping, which is achieved due to the effective integration of the VAC NTs as an interfacial layer between the CF stacks.
