In-plane permeability of small area (100 × 50 mm) alumina fiber woven fabrics grafted with aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) was quantified by placing them in series with a glass mat of known permeability during a flow experiment. The methodology was first validated on a reference woven textile. Permeability values matched those obtained by a direct method within a margin of ±15%. Permeabilities of radial-aligned (short CNT, SCNT) and so-called ‘Mohawk’ (long CNT, LCNT) morphologies of the CNT-grafted samples were then measured and compared to the non-grafted alumina, showing a decrease attributed to a change in local textile structure as assessed in previous studies. Unsaturated permeability decreased by 77% after SCNT- and 88% after LCNT-grafting, while saturated permeability further decreased by 90% and 93%, respectively. The high ratio of unsaturated to saturated permeability (in the range of 1.14 – 2.89) implies that capillary wicking contributes largely to the impregnation of CNT-grafted fabrics.

在流动实验期间，通过将它们与已知渗透率的玻璃垫串联放置，对接枝有排列的碳纳米管 (CNT) 的小面积 (100 × 50 mm) 氧化铝纤维机织织物的面内渗透率进行量化。该方法首先在参考机织纺织品上进行了验证。渗透率值与通过直接方法获得的值相匹配，误差在 ±15% 的范围内。然后测量 CNT 接枝样品的径向排列（短 CNT、SCNT）和所谓的“莫霍克”（长 CNT、LCNT）形态的渗透率，并与未接枝的氧化铝进行比较，显示由于变化而降低在先前研究中评估的局部纺织结构中。SCNT 接枝后不饱和渗透率下降了 77%，LCNT 接枝后不饱和渗透率下降了 88%，而饱和渗透率分别进一步下降了 90% 和 93%。
