In this research, a modeling and experimental study was conducted to explore the effects of nanoparticle type (aluminum nanoparticles carbon nanotubes), filler concentration interactions between reinforcing fibers on through-thickness conductivity nanoparticle/epoxy nanocomposites nanoparticle/fiber-reinforced multiscale composites. Multiple, notable micromechanical models were evaluated predict thermal both composite systems, then compared results. The results showed that volume fraction...
There are documented advantages to using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in composites for various property enhancements. However, date, only limited studies have been conducted on of longer CNTs over 1 mm length. This study used long multiwalled (LMWCNTs) and their extended networks test multiple properties thermal conductivity, electrical mechanical strength, modulus then compared these those shorter multi‐walled (SMWCNTs). For fiber‐reinforced composites, the graphite paths from LMWCNTs matrix...
