Abstract

Abstract:

Carbon nanotube is considered to be one of the strongest lightweight materials with superior strength and modulus, extraordinary electrical and thermal conductivity. As next-generation reinforcement, carbon nanotube exhibits great potential in polymer composites. Especially, the nanocomposites reinforced by typical carbon nanotube assemblies, carbon nanotube fiber and film, have been recognized as the third-generation advanced composites. This paper reviews recent progress on the continuous carbon nanotube fiber, film and their polymer composites, including their preparation methods, quality control, microstructure, mechanical and physical properties. The multiple-level microstructure of nanocomposite is analyzed and mechanical enhancement mechanism is revealed. The nanocomposite shows great application prospect for electromagnetic interference shielding, fire retardancy, electrical and thermal conductivity, and so on. This review will provide some references for the multi-functional application of carbon nanotube nanocomposites in the future aeronautic and astronautic structures.
