Effect of Carbon Nanotubes on the Microstructure and Thermal Property of Phenolic/Graphite Composite

Effect of Carbon Nanotubes on the Microstructure and Thermal Property of Phenolic/Graphite Composite

In this work, composites based on phenolic resin (P), graphite powder (G), carbon fibers (CFs), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by using hot compression molding. The effect of CNTs on the microstructure and thermal property of these composites was investigated. FESEM analysis indicated tha...
