Impacts of Volume of Carbon Nanotubes on Bending for Carbon-‎Kevlar Hybrid Fabrics

Carbon nanotubes indicate mechanical properties ideally examined for reinforced Carbon/Kevlar hybrid fabrics in the intact specimens by SEM and EDX observations an Carbon nanotubes indicated mechanical properties that were examined for reinforced Carbon/Kevlar hybrid fabrics in the intact specimens by SEM and EDX observations and after attempting six successful ballistic impacts, at various targets’ angles: normal impact (۰-degree), ۱۰-degree, ۲۰-degree, ۳۰-degree, and ۴۰-degree) with the different volume of CNT% (۰, ۰.۱, ۰.۳, ۰.۵, ۰.۷, ۱, and ۱.۵) after attempting six successful ballistic impacts, at various targets’ angles: normal impact (۰-degree), ۱۰-degree, ۲۰-degree, ۳۰-degree, and ۴۰-degree) with the different volume of CNT% (۰, ۰.۱, ۰.۳, ۰.۵, ۰.۷, ۱, and ۱.۵). Each sample was fabricated by the same curing unit and then evaluated by the three‐point bending universal testing machine model (INSTRON-۳۳۶۹). Flexural Stress-Strain curves under ۳-points bending in CNT epoxy composite laminates calculated flexural modulus of elasticity and bending toughness at room temperature.
