Properties of Nanofillers in Polymer
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of properties induced by the nanometric scale of fillers was not fully understood at these times, and the real starting point corresponding to an understanding of the action of these fillers is generally considered as corresponding to the first papers on a polyamide-6 filled with nanoclays published by Usuki et al. (1993) and Okada A. (1995), from Toyota R&D.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of multiscale composite manufacturing and challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the need for improving composite laminate through-thickness properties becomes imperative as the utilization of advanced composites in structural applications grows, and the need to improve their through thickness becomes imperative.
