Bio-inspired micro-structural design for CFRP : exploring damage mechanisms of nacre

Carbon-Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are widely regarded as the material of choice for many aerospace and automotive applications, where high specific strength and stiffness are required. However, one of the main limitations to further extending the use of such materials is their inherent brittle...
