  • Patent number: 12106870
    Abstract: Provided herein are composite materials and methods of making composite materials including carbon nanoscale fiber networks. The composite materials may include a stretched and doped carbon nanoscale fiber network and a capping layer. The methods of making the composite materials may include stretching a carbon nanoscale fiber network, contacting the nanoscale fiber network with a dopant, and disposing a capping layer on a surface of the carbon nanoscale fiber network.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230332989
    Abstract: Various implementations include a mold for forming composite samples for a pullout test. The mold includes a body having a first surface and a second surface spaced apart from the first surface. The first surface defines one or more slots and one or more channels. Each of the one or more channels has a longitudinal axis. At least one of the one or more channels intersects one of the one or more slots. Various other implementations include a method of forming a composite sample for a pullout test. The method includes providing a mold as described above; disposing a resin within one of the slots; disposing a fiber within at least one of the channels intersecting the one of the slots such that a portion of the fiber is disposed within the one of the slots; and causing the resin to cure.
