abstract
An approach to strategically introduce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into epoxy to prepare epoxy/CNT composites has been developed. CNTs can be placed at locations of interest inside a vacuum-assisted resin-transfer-molded composite, thus allowing for optimized composite reinforcement at lower cost. Moreover, it helps avoid viscosity related processing issues due to the addition of CNTs to epoxy. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
