The delamination fracture toughness of graphite and aramid-epoxy composite laminates was determined as a function of loading rate for unidirectional and woven reinforcements. In addition, the in-situ fracture toughness of the epoxy matrix was obtained by determining the crack energy release rate during the delamination fracture of thin epoxy films. The fracture surfaces were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The results show that increasing the loading rate and the use of woven reinforcements increase the fracture toughness. A model was used to estimate the relative contributions from the fiber-matrix interface and the matrix to the overall delamination crack energy release rate.

AbstractThe electrospray deposition method was used to deposit carbon nanotubes (CNT) onto the surfaces of woven carbon fiber (CF) to produce woven hybrid carbon fiber–carbon nanotubes (CF–CNT). Extreme high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (XHR-FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to analyze the woven hybrid CF–CNT. The results demonstrated that CNT was successfully and homogenously distributed on the woven CF surface. Woven hybrid CF–CNT epoxy composite laminates were then prepared and compared with woven CF epoxy composite laminates in terms of their flexural and dielectric properties. The results indicated that the flexural strength, flexural modulus and dielectric constant of the woven hybrid CF–CNT epoxy composite laminates were improved up to 19, 27 and 25%, respectively, compared with the woven CF epoxy composite laminates.
