    [Abstract]

    The failure of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) is typically governed by compressive failure in the fibre direction or insufficient transverse strength and occurs at a fibre-matrix interface. A novel approach of enhancement of the interface is the development of hierarchical composites based on growth of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the carbon fibre (CF). The challenge is that during the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of CNTs, surface defects are induced in the CF by diffusion and an etching effect of the Fe catalyst, which alters the tensile properties of the CF. Our approach utilises an Al O diffusion barrier layer on the CF surface obtained by atomic layer (ALD). In our present work we deliver the observation of the CF with and without a protective alumina film grafted with CNTs utilising ptychographic X-ray computed tomography (PXCT), which provides nm-resolved 3D electron density maps of the CFs. We present and discuss a data analysis methodology for iron nanoparticle detection in the electron density maps.

    [Abstract]

    Liquid-gated graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) with reliable performance are developed. It is revealed that ideal defect-free graphene should be inert to electrolyte composition changes in solution, whereas a defective one responses to electrolyte composition. This finding sheds light on the large variety of pH or ion-induced gate shifts that have been published for GFETs in the recent literature. As a next step to target graphene-based (bio-) chemical sensing platform, non-covalent functionalization of graphene has to be introduced.
