Advanced polymer composites have being found increasing use in a wide variety of load-carrying structural applications where their specific strength and stiffness plays a crucial role. One of the major problems with these materials is their poor resistance to delamination, particularly the free-edge and impact-induced delamination. Various designs to improve delamination resistance resulted in considerable weight and cost penalties. A novel delamination suppression concept was proposed recently based on nanofiber reinforcement of interfaces between plies in advanced laminated ...
