Abstract
Composite exploration at the nanoscale size reveals the unexpected complexity of these materials in both structure and behavior. Carbon nanotube–reinforced polymer materials offer great possibilities for investigation of nanocomposites in basic and applied research. However, carbon nanotubes cannot be easily handled in forming organized structures. For this reason, titanium dioxide (titania) nanotubes are considered the ideal self-organized nanostructures for hybrid layered nanocomposite manufacturing. The present chapter describes the most important aspects of the synthesis methods and characterization of carbon and titanium dioxide nanotube composites, as well as the application of interphase analytical models for the prediction of their mechanical behavior.
