Modification of the Interfacial Interaction between Carbon Fiber and Epoxy with Carbon Hybrid Materials

  • Kejing Yu,
  • Menglei Wang,
  • Junqing Wu,
  • Kun Qian,
  • Jie Sun and
  • Xuefeng Lu

The mechanical properties of the hybrid materials and epoxy and carbon fiber (CF) composites were improved significantly as compared to the CF composites made from unmodified epoxy. The reasons could be attributed to the strong interfacial interactio...

Graphene FETs with Low-Resistance Hybrid Contacts for Improved High Frequency Performance

  • Chowdhury Al-Amin,
  • Mustafa Karabiyik,
  • Phani Kiran Vabbina,
  • Raju Sinha and
  • Nezih Pala

This work proposes a novel geometry field effect transistor with graphene as a channel—graphene field-effect transistor (GFET), having a hybrid contact that consists of an ohmic source/drain and its extended part towards the gate, which is capacitive...
