Novel method for functionalising and patterning textile composites:Liquid resin print
2016
Abstract The paper reports a novel method of integrating resin into continuous textile reinforcement. The method presents a print of liquid reactive resin into textile preforms. A series of targeted injections forms a patch which upon consolidation and curing transforms into a stiff region continuously spanning through preform thickness. Enhancing the injected resin with conductive phase allows creating a pattern of patches with controlled dimensions and added functionalities. Patterned composites reveal features which are not typical for conventional composites such as fibre bridged interfaces, regular thickness variation, and gradient matrix properties. The presented study explores the ro…
Effective electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy nanocomposites
2016
The electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy composites is investigated analytically and experimentally. The theoretical predictions of the effective electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy composites were performed by the analytical approach based on a micromechanical model of composites. The parametric analysis carried out revealed an influence of geometrical and electrical parameters of the micromechanical model on the effective electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube–epoxy nanocomposite. The nanocomposites made from the DGEBA-based and RTM6 epoxy resins filled with different weight content of Baytubes C150P and N7000 multi-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared. The …
