“…24 A more recent approach; which is the growth of CNTs directly on the fabric material (so that the CNT nano-reinforcements are anchored on the fiber surface) was used by Boddu et al. 25 which studied the mechanical performance of an E-glass fabric composite reinforced with anchored (CNTs). This method has the potential to increase the fiber–matrix interfacial adhesion, improve the composite interlaminar shear stress, furthermore, improve its toughness.…”

“…Boddu et al. 25 fabricated a glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) using two commercially available plain weave glass fabrics abbreviated as GF1 (197 by 157 threads/m) and GF2 (629 by 551 threads/m). They first treated GF2 sheet using hydrofluoric acid to both remove the desizing material and slightly etch the glass fiber to prepare its surface for MWCNT growth.…”

The development of personal protection systems with improved ballistic performance and reduced weight has received a great interest in the last decade with the unfortunate ever-increasing threats and conflicts. In this review, the ordinarily polymeric fibers used in body armors manufacturing were first reported, then some nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene with advanced structural and mechanical properties, as well as their potential reinforcement of armor composites were investigated through some recent studies available in the literature. Additionally, natural fibers integrated into multilayered armor systems, and ballistic tests which endorse their future importance were also cited. This short review which sheds light on novel materials used in personal armor systems, a specific and an important topic that was not previously reviewed, aims to provide to the new researchers, engineers and manufactures in this field some guidelines about what are the promising materials that can be used in order to construct the ultimate body armors of the future.

“…MWCNT anchored on the fiber surface can effectively transfer stress from the matrix phase to the reinforcing fibers and thus improve the fiber/matrix interfacial adhesion . To date, there are mainly three approaches to prepare multiscale MWCNT‐modified glass fibers: (1) directly growing MWCNT onto the fiber by chemical vapor deposition , (2) covering the sizing mixture containing MWCNT , and (3) depositing MWCNT onto the fiber by electrophoretic deposition , layer‐by‐layer assembly , spray‐up processing and ultrasonic‐assisted impregnation .…”

Interlaminar fracture toughness, adhesion and mechanical properties of MWCNT–glass fiber fabric composites: Effect of MWCNT aspect ratios

et al. 2018

Multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with various aspect ratios were first designed onto the glass fiber fabric (Gf), for the purpose of fabricating a series of MWCNT–glass fiber fabric (MGf) composites with controllable interlaminar fracture toughness, adhesion and mechanical properties. The dispersal ability of MWCNT on the Gf surface was closely related to its aspect ratios, which may greatly affect the toughness and strength of epoxy‐based composites. An interesting result showed that the interlaminar fracture toughness of MGf composites with MWCNT aspect ratios of ~667 to ~1333 was significantly improved. Under an optimal MWCNT aspect ratio (~1333), the interlaminar shear, tensile and flexural strength of the MGf composite were raised by 43.8, 38.2, and 34.2%, respectively, and its dynamic mechanical properties had a similar rule, as compared with neat Gf composite. Almost all the MGf composites with MWCNT exhibited some ductile fracture behavior whether in tensile or flexural tests. POLYM. COMPOS., 40:E1329–E1337, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers

In this study, we investigated how the chemical structural properties, mechanical properties, and morphology of large‐size graphene platelets (LGPs) doped glass fabric (GF)/epoxy composites are affected by varying loading amounts of LGPs. Scanning electron microscope results revealed that the dispersion and filling effect of LGPs can improve the flowability of the resin, reducing the aggregation and shrinkage of the resin on the glass fabric surface, thereby facilitating better resin infiltration and coverage of the glass fabric surface. From the spectrum analysis, the binding of LGPs with epoxy resin was the physical combination, without new chemical groups generated during the curing process. The addition of LGPs improved the ratio of the crystalline phases in the composites, from 30.00% of the GF/epoxy to 57.50% of the GF/epoxy@2.2LGPs. Mechanical properties indicated that the composites exhibited greater tensile strength than pure GF, which progressively increased with increasing LGPs content until it reached 1.5 wt%, then the tensile strength starts to decrease. And the GF/epoxy@1.5 LGPs exhibited 136% enhancement in tensile strength compared to other carbon fillers reinforced composites, which achieved a satisfactory enhancement under relatively low loading content.Highlights The effect of the large‐size graphene platelets (LGPs) on the properties of glass fabric (GF)/epoxy composites. Compared to the glass fabric/epoxy composite, the LGPs doped composite possessed a much higher storage modulus (E′). The LGPs doped composite exhibited 136% enhancement in tensile strength compared to other carbon fillers reinforced composites. The addition of LGPs improved the ratio of the crystalline phases in the composites.
