However, delamination between the reinforcing plies remains a major problem as it limits further breakthrough of these materials. Recently, interleaving electrospun nanofibres between the reinforcing plies has proven to be a viable interlaminar toughening method which can significantly limit the occurrence of delamination failure in composite materials [1,2]. This presentation will give a thorough insight into the relationship between the electrospun nanofibre properties and the resulting tough composites, and as such, allow for engineering novel and damage resistant nanofiber toughened composites.
