Alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ), aluminum (Al) and titanium (Ti) particulate fillers were added to carbon fiber-reinforced polycarbonate composites (PC–CF) at the percolation threshold (20 vol.%) to form a hybrid composite with multi-dimensional fillers. Experiments indicate that the storage modulu...
