Multiscale Polymer Composites: A Review of the Interlaminar Fracture Toughness Improvement

Composite materials are prone to delamination as they are weaker in the thickness direction. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are introduced as a multiscale reinforcement into the fiber reinforced polymer composites to suppress the delamination phenomenon. This review paper presents the detailed progress mad...
