Recently, the incorporation of electrospun nanofibre veils has been shown to be an effective method for improving the mechanical properties of these composites, without causing process problems and negatively affecting other mechanical properties. Thus, these nanofibres have the potential to be used as thickness-reinforcing materials in composites. This paper investigates the effect of incorporating standalone electrospun nanofibre veils made of two different types of polyamide 6 (PA6) on the mechanical properties of carbon fibre/epoxy composites. The influence of positioning the electrospun veils at different interlaminar positions of the laminate has also been investigated.18273925enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.3390/polym10111190Carbon fibresPolymer matrix composites (PMCs)DelaminationFracture toughnessElectrospun nanofibresCarbon fibresPolymer matrix composites (PMCs)DelaminationFracture toughnessElectrospun nanofibresGeneral ChemistryPolymers and PlasticsFunding InfoAuthors would like to acknowledge the Basque Government funding within the_x000D_ ELKARTEK Programme, “ACTIMAT”, and grupos de investigación del sistema universitario vasco_x000D_ (IT718-13) Also the authors acknowledge the funding from the Spanish government through the_x000D_ project TEC2015-63838-C3-1-R-OPTONANOSENS and from the Basque government through the project_x000D_ KK-2017/00089-µ4F.
