Delamination is the main responsible for structural failure of composites having a laminar structure.

Abstract
Delamination is the main responsible for structural failure of composites having a laminar structure. In the present work, polyamide (Nylon 66) nanofibers, even impregnated with uncrosslinked nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), are interleaved into epoxy-based carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates with the aim to counteract the delamination phenomenon. The performance of nano-modified composites using both the nanofibrous mat types, that is, Nylon 66 and NBR-impregnated Nylon 66 membranes, is investigated. Mode I loading tests show a significant improvement of the interlaminar fracture toughness of rubber-modified CFRPs, especially in the G(I,)(R) (up to +151%). The improvement in the G(I,)(C) is less pronounced, but still significant (up to +80%). The achieved results are very encouraging and pave the way to the use of such Nylon-NBR hybrid mats for hindering delamination.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
