Reinforcement mechanism of KH550-modified cellulose nanofibers in continuous carbon fiber/polyamide 12 composites: a molecular dynamics simulation study
The mechanical properties of continuous carbon fiber (CCF) reinforced polyamide 12 (PA12) composites are typically governed by the weak polymer matrix and poor fiber-matrix interface. Both limitations can be alleviated by incorporating the KH550-modified cellulose nanofibers (CNF), yet, the underlying mechanisms requir...
