Herein, we report the use of Multi Wall Carbon Nano Tubes (MWCNTs) as nano-compatibilizers based on their astonishing mechanical properties and ease of processing. To fabricate laminate samples, pure MWCNTs were homogeneously dispersed in the fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite with 0, 0.5, 1 a...
