Abstract

Carbon fibre reinforced (CFR) laminates were manufactured by prepreg lay-up and deposition of interlaminar carbon nanotubes (CNTs). An easy and innovative manufacturing procedure was used. CNTs were separated in solvent by ultrasonication, and poured on the woven fabric prepreg. Solvent evacuation was performed at low temperature, and dry functionalized prepregs were used for composite lamination. Laminates were cured by compression moulding on a heating plate. Peeling tests, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analyses (DMA) were carried out on multiply samples with and without 1 wt% of interlaminar CNTs. Results show that the glass transition temperature of the resin matrix reduces because of the interaction with CNTs. Nevertheless, peeling strength shows 10% increase at room temperature.
