Abstract Nanocarbon materials, such as carbon nanotube and graphene, are reckoned as the ideal reinforcement for composites due to their extraordinary intrinsic properties. However, the commonly-used homogenous architecture could not guarantee an effective enhancement in the mechanical and physical properties and become the major technological barrier for practical applications. Fabrication of nanocarbon reinforced composites with special architecture such as laminate, alignment and network architecture has been reported to break through the limitations and improve the overall performance of the composites. In this review, we aim to: (1) systematically summarize the current preparation methods to achieve different types of architecture design in three classes of matrices (polymer, ceramic and metal); (2) analyze the mechanisms and the influence factors for the mechanical and physical properties (electrical and thermal conductivities) of the composites with different architecture types. Finally, we outline the main advances and outlooks for architecture design in nanocarbon reinforced composites.

通过架构设计实现纳米碳增强块状复合材料的优异机械和物理性能——综述

摘要 纳米碳材料，如碳纳米管和石墨烯，由于其非凡的内在特性，被认为是复合材料的理想增强材料。然而，常用的同构架构并不能保证机械和物理性能的有效提升，成为实际应用的主要技术障碍。据报道，制备具有层压、排列和网络结构等特殊结构的纳米碳增强复合材料突破了限制，提高了复合材料的整体性能。在这篇综述中，我们的目标是：（1）系统总结目前在三类基质（聚合物、陶瓷和金属）中实现不同类型建筑设计的制备方法；(2) 分析不同结构类型复合材料的力学和物理性能（电导率和热导率）的机理和影响因素。最后，我们概述了纳米碳增强复合材料架构设计的主要进展和展望。
