How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Carbon Fiber Composites?
Nanotechnology can significantly improve the properties of carbon fiber composites. By incorporating nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene into the polymer matrix or onto the surface of carbon fibers, the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the composites can be enhanced. These nanomaterials can help in distributing stress more evenly, improving the composite's overall durability and performance.
