Abstract

Plain woven CFRP carbon/epoxy specimens, with and without additional carbon nanotube reinforcement, have been impacted in controlled-impact tests and sectioned subsequently for microstructural investigation. The results suggest that the panels with additional CNT reinforcement have a significantly greater ability to resist impact damage than specimens without CNT reinforcement.
