Process development and characterization of spraying carbon nanofibers over fabrics for reinforcing polymer composites

Process development and characterization of spraying carbon nanofibers (CNF) over carbon fiber fabrics for reinforcing polymer composites are presented in this study. The molded composite structure consists of a high-temperature polymer reinforced with carbon fiber fabrics sprayed with different dosages of carbon nanofibers. The materials were molded using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process. Tensile testing and scanning electron...
