“…Electrospun nanofibers are thus inexpensive, continuous, and relatively easy to align, assemble, and process in applications [46]. Nanofibrous mats are an ideal reinforcement to be interleaved between two plies of resin matrix composites [47,48] and adhesives [49,50,51] because of the following aspects [34]:Thinness and lightness: They can range from few microns to even subnanometric ranges and are as light as a few grams per square meter, making the impact to weight and thickness of the final manufactured negligible.Porosity: They are highly porous, allowing the matrix to impregnate through them while still maintaining a solid bonding between the two layers of fibers encapsulating them.Tiny volume: The actual volume of these nanomats is negligible owing to the fact that they accumulate with the resin.Mechanical properties: They show highly improved properties compared to their bulk counterparts.…”

This review paper initially summarizes the latest developments in impact testing on polymer matrix composites collating the various analytical, numerical, and experimental studies performed since the year 2000. Subsequently, the scientific literature investigating nanofiller reinforced polymer composite matrices as well as self-healing polymer matrix composites by incorporating core-shell nanofibers is reviewed in-depth to provide a perspective on some novel advances in nanotechnology that have led to composite developments. Through this review, researchers can gain a representative idea of the state of the art in nanotechnology for polymer matrix composite engineering, providing a platform for further study of this increasingly industrially significant material, and to address the challenges in developing the next generation of advanced, high-performance materials.

“…Therefore, dedicated methods of mechanical joining them with metallic parts have not been developed yet. On the other hand, carbon nanotubes and other nanofibers are quite promising as auxiliary reinforcement improving inter-laminar properties of composites reinforced by conventional fabrics [ 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ]. For example, they could protect against delaminations in the case of self-piercing riveting or bolted joining.…”

As fiber reinforced plastic composites gain an increasingly larger share in aerospace structures, the problem of joining them with metal elements becomes significant. The current paper is the second part of the literature review, which gathers and evaluates knowledge about methods suitable for the mechanical joining of composite and metal elements. This paper reviews the joining methods other than bolted joining, which are discussed in the first part of the review, namely self-piercing riveting, friction riveting, clinching, non-adhesive form-locked joints, pin joints, and loop joints. Some of those methods are full-fledged and employed in commercial applications, whereas others are merely ideas tested at the level of specimens. The current review describes the ideas and the qualities of the joining methods as well as the experimental work carried out so far. The summary section of this paper contains a comparison of those methods with the reference to their qualities, which is important from the point of view of a composite structure designer: possibility of the joint disassembly, damages induced in composite, complication level, weight penalty, range of possible materials to be joined, and the joint strength.

Composites are usually composed of one continuous phase called the matrix, which binds the composite, and one or more discontinuous phases known as the reinforcement, which is typically harder, stronger, stiffer, and more stable than the continuous matrix phase.…”

Composite materials are increasingly being used as an accepted alternative to traditional structural materials throughout the globe for various engineering applications. Because of their superior properties and flexibility, these materials are beginning to find innumerable applications replacing existing materials, especially in high‐performance engineering domains. The electrospinning process adds a further dimension to enhance the properties of the composite material family by incorporating fibers at their microscale to even sub‐nanoscale, enabling the development of advanced composites with enhanced properties. Over the past decades, much research work has understandably been done on these exciting materials. This paper aims to comprehensively map some of the trends in electrospun nanofiber interleaved laminated composite development, marking the milestones achieved and challenges faced. A brief review of the potential applications for these materials will also be put forward in the research outlook for these advanced nanoengineered composites.
