Fabrications of CNT films/SR and CNT powders/SR composites are introduced to provide the rational comparisons of their thermal, mechanical and electrical properties in this work. The growth of CNT films is firstly prepared with floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD) method. CNT films belong to multi-walled CNT and mesoporous characteristic by Raman and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, respectively. CNT films/SR composite also presents better microwave absorption performances with the low-level CNT loadings (0.5 wt%), compared to the CNT powders/SR composites. It exhibits the minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of the CNT films/SR composite is −26.55 dB and related effective absorption bandwidth (RL<−10 dB) of 3.57 GHz) with 1 mm thickness. A proposed absorption mechanism is attributed to optimized impedance matching and enhanced conductive/dielectric losses in the CNT films/SR absorber.

“…Carbon fibers (CFs) have been widely used for electromagnetic shielding, biosensors, and reinforcing materials based on their excellent properties such as high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, heat resistance, and nonflammability [1][2][3][4][5]. However, it is known that CFs have a resistivity of 10 −3 -10 −4 Ω•cm, which is relatively higher than that of copper wire, at 1.68 × 10 −6 Ω•cm.…”

Carbon fibers (CFs) were plated with nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) using an electroless plating process. The effects of the process parameters such as heat treatment temperature, heat treatment time, and the pH of the plating bath on electroless Ni-P plating were investigated. The structure, elemental composition, and thermal and electrical properties of Ni-P plated CFs (MCF) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), a four-probe volume resistivity tester, and an infrared thermal imaging camera, respectively. The XRD indicated the presence of amorphous and crystalline phases of Ni and Ni-P. The MCF were able to perform at high temperatures because of their higher thermal conductivity. A heat treatment temperature of 300 °C, a heat treatment time of 4 h, and a pH of 8.5 were found to be optimum for obtaining MCF with desirable thermal and electrical properties.

“…However, the intra-layer interface debonding of the implant is the main failure mechanism for the welded joints. CNTs and VACNTs have been investigated widely as a nano-reinforcement to enhance the interfacial bond strength between fiber and resin or the interlaminar bond strength of composite laminates [19,20,21,22,23,24]. It is expected that if the surface of the SS mesh, which is the most widely-used heating element for the resistance welding of the thermoplastic composites, is modified by CNT forests, it will be beneficial to the strength of the resistance welded joint.…”

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in the form of “forests” were synthesized directly on the surface of stainless steel (SS) mesh from ethanol flame volume. The growth dependence of the MWCNT forests on the porosity of SS mesh substrate and the morphologies and growth mechanism of the MWCNT forests were investigated in detail by a combination of turbulent flow simulation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Raman and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy. The growth height of the MWCNT forests exhibited a strong dependence on the flame gas flow rate controlled by the porosity of SS mesh substrate, and the maximum averaged height of the MWCNT forests reached 34 μm. Most MWCNTs grew perpendicularly on the surface of SS wires, and some branch, welded, and spiral structures were observed by SEM and TEM. The MWCNT-decorated mesh was used as a novel heating element to weld glass-fabric-reinforced polyetherimide (GF/PEI) thermoplastics. We found that the maximum tensile lap-shear strength (LSS) of the welded joints could reach 39.21 MPa, an increase of 41% in comparison with that of conventional SS mesh-based joints.
