Summary: Carbon nanotubes have great potential for use in microelectronic packaging due to their excellent thermal conductivities. However, their high electroconductibility and poor radial conductivity limit their application in insulating materials. In this study, a heterostructured brushlike hybrid was prepared by anchoring amine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes onto insulating montmorillonite. The resulting composites exhibited improved thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability, providing a promising strategy for fabricating polymer composites.

Summary: This study proposes an interesting strategy to simultaneously increase the tensile strength and fracture toughness of epoxy matrix by in-situ constructing block copolymer nanostructures. Through the optimization of nanostructures, the tensile strength and fracture toughness of epoxy matrix are increased by 19% and 236%, respectively, without lowering its Tg. The impact of block copolymers on the morphologies and transformation of nanostructures, the relationship between nanostructures and epoxy properties, and the strengthening and toughening mechanism are systematically studied. Moreover, the epoxy resins with excellent tensile properties and toughness are used to enhance the compressive and interfacial properties of CFRP composites.

Summary: Thin-ply technology offers more possibilities for composite structures, allowing for variations in ply thickness and laminate layup. This study investigated the effects of ply thickness and 0 degrees-layer ratio on the strength and damage behavior of thin-ply composite laminates, finding that thin-ply can reduce strength and a higher 0 degrees-layer ratio leads to increased strength with a transition to splitting-dominated failure. Additionally, finite element analysis indicated that fastener restraint can alleviate stress concentration, potentially impacting tensile strength.

Summary: In situ observation was used to study the effects of mode mixity on microscopic damage and failure process in adhesively bonded carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) joints. The results showed that the damage and failure process were significantly influenced by the mixed-mode ratio of joints. An increasing mode I component led to the whitening of the adhesive resin due to cavitation, whereas an increasing mode II component resulted in an increased plastic zone length. The observed damage and failure process correlated with the stress state around the crack tip obtained by finite element analysis.

Summary: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are expected to have higher elastic modulus and strength than carbon fibers. However, recent studies have shown that the Young's modulus and tensile strength of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are not as high as expected. Annealing and developing thinner MWNTs can improve the tensile property. This study investigates the effect of annealing and diameter on the overall tensile property of MWNTs.

Summary: This study utilized polarized Raman spectroscopy to assess the strain in aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube/epoxy composites, aiming to clarify the effective elastic modulus of the carbon nanotubes. The Raman shift rate of the G' band of the carbon nanotubes was found to be 18.84 cm(-1)/% corresponding to the tensile strain of the composite specimen. Through Mori-Tanaka theory and consideration of the three-dimensional orientation distribution of the carbon nanotubes, the effective elastic modulus of the carbon nanotubes was estimated to be 400 GPa. The results demonstrated the utility of Raman spectroscopy in experimentally evaluating the effective elastic modulus of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in composites.

Summary: Through experiments, this study found that the ply thickness has an effect on the filled hole compression (FHC) strength. The FHC strength of quasi-isotropic (QI) laminates increased by 26-45% as the ply thickness decreased from 0.2 to 0.05 mm. The FHC strength was higher for QI laminates with a tightening torque of 7.0 Nm compared to 0 Nm. In addition, the FHC strength of thin-ply QI-CFRP (0.05 mm ply thickness) at a fastener tightening torque of 7 Nm was greater than the un-notched compressive (UNC) strength.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the nucleation processes of transgranular stress corrosion cracking in aluminum alloy 6061-T651 immersed in NaCl solution. The corrosion phenomena were analyzed based on precipitates, the location and geometry of corrosion pits and cracks, and the crystal orientation where cracking occurred. The results showed that corrosion pits formed on a smooth surface, and stress corrosion cracks tended to originate from deeper pits with high stress/strain concentration along the {1 1 2} crystal plane.
