Poly phenylene terephthalamide (PPTA) fiber has both high mechanical properties and low thermal conductivities, making it ideal for the design of thermal protection material in hypersonic vehicles. In this paper, the impact of CNT additions on the nanostructure and mechanical performances of PPTA fibers is investigated by coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulation. It can be found that CNT addition performs as the skeleton of PPTA polymer and induces a higher degree of alignment of poly ...[more]
