“…At present, nanometer materials are widely used as reinforcement for production of nanocomposites and multi‐scale enhanced polymer composites . Compared with conventional polymer composites that need high loading of microscale fillers, the same level of enhancement in properties may be achieved with less loading of well dispersed nanoscale fillers .…”

Epoxy‐amine system is a type of important matrix material for preparation of carbon fiber composites. The amidation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been widely developed for enhancing the mechanical properties of the epoxy resin matrix. However, the various amino‐functionalized CNTs will produce different effect in the same epoxy matrix due to the diversity in reactivity, compatibility, and dispersion stability. In this paper, the amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs‐NH2) were prepared through surface grafting ethylenediamine and diethyltoluenediamine (DETDA; designated as MWCNTs‐EDA and MWCNTs‐DETDA), and dispersed into epoxy resin matrix in which the DETDA was also used as curing agent. Compared with MWCNTs‐EDA, the MWCNTs‐DETDA showed a better dispersion state and stability in the epoxy resin, and had a relatively small impact on the curing behavior of epoxy matrix. After adding 0.5 wt% MWCNTs‐DETDA, the unidirectional T700 carbon fiber composites exhibited the significantly enhanced interlaminar shear strength and flexural properties due to the uniform dispersion of MWCNTs‐DETDA and the modified interface bonding. The results indicated that the chemical compatibility between MWCNTs‐NH2 and resin matrix can exert an important influence on the microstructure, curing behavior, thermo‐mechanical properties, and mechanical properties of the epoxy resin and the resulting carbon fiber composites.

“…The use of single and multi-walled carbon nano-tubes have already shown signicant improvements in the overall structural functions of composite materials. 27,28 These studies have shown that the addition of CNTs increases the toughness from 36 to 53%, depending on the extent of dispersion in the epoxy. 27,28 In another study, the effect of CNT alignment, CNT types, and their concentration showed that unidirectional CNT alignments were greater than 10% by weight.…”

“…As with other applications of nanoengineering, the positive (or negative) output of nanomodification strongly depends on specific technology: manufacturing and distribution of nanoparticles, functionalization, surface modification, etc. [111][112][113][114][115] For instance, Gohardani et al 116 explored the effect of CNT reinforcement in resins on the erosion under multiple liquid impact and did not observe sufficient improvement of CNT reinforced resin as compared with pure resin. According to previous studies, 69,117 pure thermoplastic matrices show better erosion resistance compared with those reinforced with brittle fibres, especially at higher impingement angles.…”

Factors and structural parameters of coatings influencing the efficiency of protective coating systems against rain erosion of wind turbine blades are reviewed. The possibilities to enhance the attenuation of wave energy from droplet impact, increase damping and varying stiffness, creating interfaces for wave reflection, adding reinforcement for wave scattering, and creating additional layers or skeleton‐like reinforcing or wave absorbing structures, are discussed in the paper. Formulas for quantitative estimation of these effects as well as qualitative relationships between the structural parameters of coatings and their performance are presented. Recommendations and promising directions for the improvement of the protective coating systems for rain erosion protection of wind turbine blades are presented.
