“…4,5 Furthermore, the use of CNT alone as reinforcement often failed to achieve the superior mechanical properties in the composites. Therefore, different routes have been adopted, notably a combination of CNT and carbon fibre (CF) [6][7][8] that involves dispersion of CNT into epoxy matrix followed by impregnation in carbon fabric. However, the above compositions had the limitation of reinforcing <1% CNT beyond which the viscosity of the CNT-epoxy mix was raised so much that it became impossible to impregnate the fabric completely.…”

In this letter, we report preparation of strongly anchored multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) carbon fiber (CF) fabric preforms. These preforms were reinforced in epoxy resin to make multi scale composites for microwave absorption in the X-band (8.2-12.4GHz). The incorporation of MWCNTs on the carbon fabric produced a significant enhancement in the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI-SE) from −29.4 dB for CF/epoxy-composite to −51.1 dB for CF-MWCNT/epoxy multiscale composites of 2 mm thickness. In addition to enhanced EMI-SE, interlaminar shear strength improved from 23 MPa for CF/epoxy-composites to 50 MPa for multiscale composites indicating their usefulness for making structurally strong microwave shields

There is a great interest in using micro and nano scale ingredients as fillers to create composites with enhanced physical properties. This thesis research explores the improvements these fillers offer with focus on combining both micro and nano ingredients to make multi-scale polymer composites. This investigation reveals the interplay of ingredient mixing, microstructural evolution, and processing conditions and characterizes the improvements of thermal and mechanical properties. This data is used to develop fundamental processing-structure-property relationships of these multi-scale composites across different concentrations of microscale and nanoscale ingredients and processing conditions in order to optimize their development.

“…Recently, many researchers made an effort on hybrid filler systems using CNT and CNF together. Kim et al used MWCNT as filler in the conventional carbon fiber/phenolic resin composites for thermal dissipation [54]. The addition of 7 wt% MWCNT resulted in about 57% thermal conductivity enhancement without orientation of fibers.…”

Recently, the use of thermal conductive polymeric composites is growing up, where the polymers filled with the thermally conductive fillers effectively dissipate heat generated from electronic components. Therefore, the management of heat is directly related to the lifetime of electronic devices. For the purpose of the improvement of thermal conductivity of composites, fillers with excellent thermally conductive behavior are commonly used. Thermally conductive particles filled polymer composites have advantages due to their easy processibility, low cost, and durability to the corrosion. Especially, carbon-based 1-dimensional nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) have gained much attention for their excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient than the metals. This paper aims to review the research trends in the improvement of thermal conductivity of the carbon-based materials filled polymer composites.
