Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate a novel toughening approach for liquid mouldable carbon fibre/epoxy composites. The toughening mechanism is based on the use of thermoplastics for the toughening of epoxy resins in which polymer blends are formed, leading to phase separated morphologies which allows for various toughening mechanisms to take place. Instead of standard melt or solution blending, the thermoplastic in this study is introduced as solid phenoxy fibres, which are combined with dry carbon fabric preforms. These phenoxy fibres remain solid during resin infusion and dissolve when

Abstract:

Carbon fibre (CF) reinforced polymers have become the most widely used composites in theaerospace industry. However, ensuring the integrity of composite structures remains one of themain challenges. By measuring the change in electrical resistance of these materials, it is feasibleto monitor strains and damage initiation and accumulation in-situ and in real-time. The objectiveof this work is to investigate the potential of adding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to existing CFpolymersto improve strain self-sensing.

The production of cellulose derived hybrid carbon nanofibre (CNF)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) electrodes for the fabrication of supercapacitors and carbon fibre composites was investigated. The CNTs were grown via a floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on the top surface of electrospun cellulose derived CNFs. These CNF and CNF/CNTs samples were then used as electrodes to produce liquid electrolyte-based supercapacitors. The growth of CNTs leads to an improvement of electrochemical performance compared to the plain CNFs. This improvement is due to the grown CNTs enlarging the re

The weight saving benefits of carbon fibre composites have been keenly adopted by civil aviation, with over 50% of the weight of modern designs coming from the carbon fibre components.

However, this rapid development, combined with a constant drive for increased rate of manufacture from industry can result in the formation of critical defects in the more complicated structural components.

A new bio-inspired microstructure design approach was developed to improve the translaminar toughness and damage tolerance of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) structures. The microstructure designs take inspiration from the microstructures of biological composites by adopting the most important toughening mechanisms, and applying them to CFRP laminates. Carefully placed patterns of laser-engraved micro-cuts are inserted in the microstructure of the laminate during the manufacturing process. These micro-cuts change the crack propagation path during translaminar fracture, hence allowing to

Abstract:

Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) is a composite composed of very high strength and stiffness carbon fibres within a polymer matrix. Low mass and cost make CFRP attractive for aerospace applications. At present application of CFRP is limited by the poor residual strength and fatigue properties of the material following impact damage, and because of the limited understanding of the problem. Damage to CFRP results in a combination of fibre fracture and matrix cracking. The strength of CFRP perpendicular to the fibre direction is relatively poor and so the material is generally used as a lam

Nowadays, CFRPs are been used in aeronautics, wind turbine blades, sports goods and civil industry.

Manufacturing of textile preforms involve preform compaction which influences the fibre volume fraction and level of crimp in the final laminates affecting the laminate properties. The preform compaction behaviour is highly non-linear and depends on a number of tow-level factors which in turn is guided by filament-level interactions. Hence experimentally predicting the compaction behaviour of a preform, made of large fibre bundles, remains as an obstacle to the understanding of the compaction mechanics due to the stochastic effects of filament-level interactions.
