The mechanical performance of natural rubber latex filled carbon nanotubes (CNT) coated kevlar fabric / Nor Azreen Abu Bakar

Coated fabrics are widely used for technical textiles of late and there have been some interests in coating high strength fabrics with natural rubber (NR) latex. However, the addition of fillers in the form of carbon nanotube (CNT) and its relation with the mechanical properties of fabrics are not f...
