Carbon Nanotube Layer for Reduction of Fiber Print-Through in Carbon Fiber Composites

Fiber print-through effect is a limitation to the use of carbon fiber-reinforced composites in space applications, namely, mirror telescopes. Replica method is used for the production of lightweight telescope mirrors. However, this method requires a polished mandrel, increasing considerably the fina...
