The effect of carbon nanotubes introduced by electrophoretic deposition on the tensile behavior of carbon fiber tow was investigated. As-received and heat-treated carbon fiber tows that deposited with carbon nanotubes and their counterparts were tested under monotonous tensile loading. Morphology and presence state of carbon nanotubes on the surface of carbon fiber tows were observed for determining the role of carbon nanotubes. Results showed that tensile properties of carbon fiber tow were not damaged by the electrophoretic deposition process. Due to the uniformly distributed carbon nanotubes network on the surface of carbon fiber tow, the fracture of filaments were obviously constrained by carbon nanotubes instead of instantaneous separation. What’s more, carbon nanotubes exhibited a stronger confining ability for heat-treated carbon fiber tow and improved their tensile properties significantly.

AbstractThe electrospray deposition method was used to deposit carbon nanotubes (CNT) onto the surfaces of woven carbon fiber (CF) to produce woven hybrid carbon fiber–carbon nanotubes (CF–CNT). Extreme high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (XHR-FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to analyze the woven hybrid CF–CNT. The results demonstrated that CNT was successfully and homogenously distributed on the woven CF surface. Woven hybrid CF–CNT epoxy composite laminates were then prepared and compared with woven CF epoxy composite laminates in terms of their flexural and dielectric properties. The results indicated that the flexural strength, flexural modulus and dielectric constant of the woven hybrid CF–CNT epoxy composite laminates were improved up to 19, 27 and 25%, respectively, compared with the woven CF epoxy composite laminates.
