Abstract
In the present study, CuO nanostructured woven carbon fiber composite was developed. CuONanostructures functionalized to increase the impact energy absorption and mechanical properties of the composite, due to higher surface density of CuO crystalline structures and strongly adhesion energy between CuO and carbon fibers. The CuO nanostructured morphologies were formed form petal-like into cuboid-like by controlling growth temperature and time. The morphological investigations were performed by SEM.
