Ultrathin CNT fiber veils were used as interleaves to improve the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. The orientation of the veils greatly affected the crack propagation and the formation of carbon fiber bridgings. When oriented parallel to the carbon fiber, the veils enhanced the toughness significantly. However, when transversely-placed, the veils hindered the formation of carbon fiber bridgings and degraded the interlaminar toughness.
Ultrathin CNT fiber veils (100-300 nm thick) were used as interleaves to improve the interlaminar fracture toughness of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. These veils, drawn from vertically aligned CNT forests, were directly deposited at the mid-plane of CFRPs either longitudinally or transversely to the carbon fiber. The results revealed that triggering multiple toughening mechanisms is the key to achieve high toughness FRP composites. When the veils were oriented parallelly to the carbon fiber, the crack propagates in a zig-zag manner, not only interacting with more CNTs, but also triggering more carbon fiber bridgings, leading to a steeply rising R-curve. The superiority and effectiveness of this technique is exemplified by the extremely thin toughening layers (about 300 nm thick) needed to remarkably improve the propagation value of Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of the CFRP by approximately 107%. The Mode I toughening factor (eta I), defined as the change in Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness per interleaf-to-ply thickness ratio, comes out as high as 713, which is far outweigh the state-of-the-art. However, transversely-placed CNT veils will seriously block the formation of carbon fiber bridgings, remarkably degrading the Mode I interlaminar toughness of the laminates.
