Abstract:

This study investigates the performance of Carbon NanoTube (CNT) films against transverse high-speed impacts and the effect of resin content on the impact performance using a one-stage light air gun experiment. Combining numerical simulations, we obtain the critical penetration velocities of pure CNT films and those impregnated with 20%, 50% and 80% epoxy resin solution under the impact of a steel ball with a diameter of 3 mm, which are 26.2 m/s, 27.1 m/s, 27.96 m/s, and 35.3 m/s, respectively. The results show that the epoxy resin can enhance the mechanical properties of CNT films, and the enhancement effect gradually grows with the increase of epoxy resin concentration. Through the observation of microscopic morphology, we discover that the enhancement mechanism of the CNT resin composite film under high-speed impact is mainly based on the energy absorption of microcracks. By investigating into the mechanical behaviour of CNT resin composite films under high-speed impact to reveal the enhancement mechanism of CNT under transverse impact load, this study aims to provide help and guidance for the design and preparation of interlayer toughened composites and their mechanical property research.
