Dynamic behavior of carbon nanofiber-modified epoxy with the effect of polydopamine-coated interface

Understanding the dynamic mechanical behaviors of nano-modified composites are essential for designing the anti-collision structures. In this work, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were coated by mussel-inspired polydopamine ad-layer for modifying the interface and dispersion behaviors while incorporated in...
