Abstract
From the result of our existing research, there is a continuing problem that fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites always break down because of cracks between the laminae for their particular laminated structure. To decrease the probability of cracking between laminae, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which exhibit a high potential as reinforcement for polymers, were used to enhance the interlaminar strength and to obtain an FRP product with a higher longevity. Different mass fractions of CNTs were dispersed in phenol resin and made into FRP composites, with glass cloth serving as a reinforcement material. Subsequently, bending and creep tests revealed that, in certain percentage of cases, the bending strength and lifetime of FRP products were improved by increasing the CNTs mass fraction.
