    Scaling effects in the mechanical behaviour of carbon nanoparticle modified fibre reinforced polymers
    This thesis deals with the influence of a nanoparticle modification on the damage behaviour and resulting mechanical properties of epoxy matrix and fibre reinforced polymers (FRP). A comparison of different nanoparticle morphologies with regard to their potential use in FRP is carried out. Since the volumes between the fibres in FRP are very small, the focus is set on the investigation of size effects. This influence is discussed comparing the different damage mechanisms in dependence of the nanoparticle morphology. A tailored modification approach allows exact analysis of the impact of a nanoparticle modification in either 0° or 90°-layers of cross-ply laminates on mechanical properties and damage mechanisms under static and cyclic loading.
