Tuning interlaminar fracture toughness of fine z-pin reinforced polymer composite
This paper aims to improve the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites by implanting fine z-pins with the minimum damage on in-plane fibers. Z-pins with diameters as small as 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm were prepared by using carbon fiber tows with different mechan...
