Effects of surface grafting of copper nanoparticles on the tensile and bonding properties of flax fibers

In the present work, functionalized copper nanoparticles (FCuNPs) were grafted onto flax fibers, and the effects on the tensile properties, bonding strength to an epoxy resin, as well as the properties of the flax fiber-epoxy model composites were investigated. The copper nanoparticles were synthesi...
