Research progress on interlaminar property of carbon nanotube-continuous fiber reinforced resin matrix composites

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has excellent mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic properties. One of its important applications is to modify continuous fiber reinforced resin matrix composites to afford them better mecha-nical and multifunctional properties. For continuous fiber reinforced resin matrix composites, several methods of introducing CNTs are summarized. The interlaminar properties of CNTs-continuous fiber reinforced resin matrix composites are revealed. The latest progress on CNT assemblies-continuous fiber reinforced resin matrix compo-sites is introduced in detail and their future development is also discussed.
