We study a novel method to modify carbon nanotubes (CNT) surfaces using hydrogen and develop a composite with epoxy resin. This method is effective for functionalization of CNT surfaces and for chemical and physical interactions with other materials. The C = C/C–C ratio increased until 20 min and decreased thereafter.…

Abstract In this work, the production of continuous submicron diameter saccharide fibres is shown to be possible using the electrospinning process. The mechanism for the formation of electrospun polymer fibres is usually attributed to the physical entanglement of long molecular chains. The ability to electrospin conti…

When fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) are first loading to fatigue peak stress, matrix multicracking and fiber/matrix interface debonding occur. Under fatigue loading, the stress–strain hysteresis loops appear as the frictional slip occurred between the fiber and the matrix in the interface debonded r…

Twin boundary spacing (TBS) plays a significant role in the yield behaviour of twinned nanowires (NWs). However, few studies have shown an overall view of the effects on the mechanical response of twinned silver NWs under tensile loading. In this article, the mechanical properties of 〈111〉-oriented NWs with different…
