碩士 === 元智大學 === 機械工程學系 === 95 === The unusual mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes(CNTs) make them an ideal class of reinforcement for composite materials. CNTs well dispersed as a filler with different loading fractions can successfully reinforce structure of composites, and also can be used as　lubricants to reduce friction between two different interfaces. In most cases, CNTs were randomly and　uniformly dispersed in the composites, the alignment of CNTs in the composites is rarely discussed. So in this study, theapplication of AC electric fields during nanocomposites curing was used to induced the formation of aligned nanotubes between the electrodes.
