Carbon/carbon composites offer lightweight thermal protection capable of producing excellent thermal materials. To further improve the thermal conductivity along the thickness direction and the interlaminar shear strength, we studied and demonstrated a novel method to stitch carbon nanotube yarns along the through-thickness direction of carbon fiber two-dimensional precursor felt perform to make novel 3D reinforced carbon/carbon (C/C) composites. By stitching nanotube yarns, high strength and thermal conductive CNTs were incorporated ...
