The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by catalytic decompose of benzene using floating transition method at 1100-1200°C. Benzene was used as carbon source and ferrocene as catalyst with thiophene. The carbon nanotubes are straight with diameter 20-50 nm, internal diameter 10-30 nm and length 50-1000 μm. The carbon nanotube and continuous carbon fiber (T300) reinforced unidirectional epoxy resin matrix composites was fabricated. The volune fraction of continuous carbon fiber (first filler) in the composites without second filler (carbon nanotube) was 60%. The mechanical properties of the composites were investigated under bending, shear, and impact loading. The flexural strength and modulus of the composites increased firstly and then decreased with the increasing of carbon nanotube contents in epoxy resin matrix. The flexural strength of the composites reached the maximum value of 1780 MPa when the weight percent of carbon nanotube in epoxy resin matrix was 3%.

This paper successfully interlaced floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition-grown carbon nanotube film and ultrathin carbon fiber prepreg to achieve strong and flexible carbon nanotube/carbon fiber hybrid composites with high carbon nanotube loading. Epoxidation was also introduced to improve interlaminar interfacial bonding. It was found that pristine carbon nanotube film/carbon fiber interply hybrid composite (carbon fiber/carbon nanotube/carbon fiber) showed sudden and brittle failure, while epoxidation caused a gradual failure behavior. Hybrid effect analysis suggested that the improved tensile performance and synergistic effect of epoxidized carbon nanotube film/carbon fiber hybrid composite were attributed to good load transfer and suppressed delamination induced by improved interfacial bonding. In addition carbon fiber/carbon nanotube/carbon fiber manifested excellent damping capacity with the maximum loss factor of 0.13. The in-plane electrical conductivity of composite with global carbon nanotube content of 21 wt% increased to the same order of magnitude as carbon nanotube film composite. The excellent mechanical, damping, and electrical properties demonstrated great potential for both structural and multifunctional applications of the resultant hybrid composites.
