Popis: Cf/SiC composites were fabricated through in situ growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on three-dimensional needle-punched carbon fabric via chemical vapor deposition and polymer impregnation and pyrolysis process. The mechanical and thermal properties of the composites were investigated. The flexural strength and fracture toughness were decreased due to the fiber volume fraction loss and much shorter pull-out length of fibers which was caused by the higher interfacial bonding strength between fiber and matrix after the growth of CNTs. Brittle fracture character of CNTs was observed due to the strong interfacial bonding strength between CNTs and matrix. The parallel thermal conductivity and perpendicular thermal conductivity were improved to 14.5% and 8.0% respectively.
