Carbon nanotube grafted fibres : a route to advanced hierarchical composites

The feasibility of reinforcing conventional fibre/polymer composites by grafting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto the fibre surfaces has been investigated. Different methods were developed for directly growing CNTs on silica and carbon (C320 and IM7) fibres. Pure and N-doped CNTs with controllable lengt...
