Abstract
Inherent weak interfaces exist in large plate and shell composites made from carbon fibre pre-pregs and in any laminar structures bonded by epoxy adhesives due to absence of Z-directional toughening. In-situ Z-directional movements of short and flexible fibres from ultra-thin un-bonded non-woven Aramid veils can potentially compensate for the inherent structural weakness. Incorporations of nano-fillers, carbon nano-tubes (CNT) and graphene can...
