Is It Worth the Effort to Reinforce Polymers With Carbon Nanotubes
Marcio Rodrigo Loos,Karl Schulte +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two case studies were proposed in order to analyze the effectiveness of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon fibers (CFs) as reinforcing agents, and the simulated results from the micromechanics models showed that the use of CFs makes the acquisition of composites with maximum tensile strengths of 4.18 GPa possible.
