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.

This study focuses on the role of Mo addition on the mechanical properties of an Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy in as-cast and heat-treated condition at ambient and elevated temperature. Addition of 0.4 to 0.6 wt.% Mo forms Mo-bearing dispersoid particles which have a relatively high melting point and improve high temperature tensile strength. Ductility suffered in the presence of Mo-bearing particles. Trace addition of Mo up to 0.6 wt.% has a negligible influence on the yield strength and hardness of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy in as-cast and heat-treated conditions at ambient temperature and 250 °C.

It is well known that carbon nanotube (CNT) oxidation (usually with concentrated HNO3) is a major step before the electrophoretic deposition (EPD). However, the recent discovery of the “onion effect” proves that multiwalled carbon nanotubes are not only oxidized, but a simultaneous unsheathing process occurs. We present the first report concerning the influence of unsheathing on the properties of the thus-formed CNT surface layer. In our study we examine how the process of gradual oxidation/unsheathing of a series of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) influences the morphology of the surface formed via EPD. Taking a series of well-characterized and gradually oxidized/unsheathing Nanocyl™ MWCNTs and performing EPD on a carbon fiber surface, we analyzed the morphology and wettability of the CNT surfaces. Our results show that the water contact angle could be gradually changed in a wide range (125–163°) and the major property determining its value was the diameter of aggregates formed before the deposition process in the solvent. Based on the obtained results we determined the parameters having a crucial influence on the morphology of created layers. Our results shed new light on the deposition mechanism and enable the preparation of surfaces with steerable roughness and wettability.
