Eliminating solvents and polymers in high-performance Si anodes by gas-phase assembly of nanowire fabrics
Moumita Rana, Afshin Pendashteh, Richard Schäufele +2
Developing sustainable battery electrode manufacturing methods is particularly pressing for alloying-type active materials, such as silicon, which often require additional energy-i…
Identification of Collapsed Carbon Nanotubes in High-Strength Fibres Spun from Compositionally Polydisperse Aerogels
Maria Vila, Seungki Hong, Seunggyu Park +4
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) of sufficiently large diameter and a few layers self-collapse into flat ribbons at atmospheric pressure, forming bundles of stacked CNTs that maximize packi…
Understanding interlaminar toughening of unidirectional CFRP laminates with carbon nanotube veils
Yunfu Ou, Carlos González, Juan José Vilatela
The introduction of nanostructured interlayers is one of the most promising strategies for interlaminar reinforcement in structural composites. In this work, we study the failure m…
Tough sheets of nanowires produced floating in the gas phase
Richard S. Schäufele, Miguel Vazquez-Pufleau, Juan J. Vilatela
Assembling nanostructured building blocks into network materials unlocks macroscopic properties inaccessible with monolithic solids, notably toughness and tolerance to electrochemi…
Interlaminar toughening in structural carbon fiber/epoxy composites interleaved with carbon nanotube veils
Yunfu Ou, Carlos González, Juan José Vilatela
The susceptibility to delamination is one of the main concerns in fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs). This work demonstrates improvements of 60% in Mode-I fracture toughnes…
Structural composites for multifunctional applications: current challenges and future trends
C. González, J. J. Vilatela, J. M. Molina-Aldareguía +2
This review paper summarizes the current state-of-art and challenges for the future developments of fiber-reinforced composites for structural applications with multifunctional cap…
