Impacts of Volume of Carbon Nanotubes on Bending for Carbon-Kevlar Hybrid Fabrics

Carbon nanotubes indicate mechanical properties ideally examined for reinforced Carbon/Kevlar hybrid fabrics in the intact specimens by SEM and EDX observations an Carbon nanotubes indicated mechanical properties that were examined for reinforced Carbon/Kevlar hybrid fabrics in the intact specimens by SEM and EDX observations and after attempting six successful ballistic impacts, at various targets' angles: normal impact (0-degree), 10-degree, 20-degree, 30-degree, and 40-degree) with the different volume of CNT% (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, and 1.5) after attempting six successful ballistic impacts, at various targets' angles: normal impact (0-degree), 10-degree, 20-degree, 30-degree, and 40-degree) with the different volume of CNT% (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, and 1.5). Each sample was fabricated by the same curing unit and then evaluated by the three-point bending universal testing machine model (INSTRON-3369). Flexural Stress-Strain curves under 3-points bending in CNT epoxy composite laminates calculated flexural modulus of elasticity and bending toughness at room temperature.
