A three-dimensional composite reinforcement, a three-dimensionally reinforced multifunctional nanocomposite, and methods of manufacture of each are disclosed. The three dimensional reinforcement comp.pi.ses a two dimensional fiber cloth upon which carbon nanotubes have been grown, approximately perpendicular to the plane of the fiber cloth. The nanocomposite comprises the three-dimensional reinforcement and a surrounding matrix material. Examples illustrate improvements in the through-thickness mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the nanocomposite, in addition to substantial improvements in geometrical stability upon temperature changes and vibrational damping, compared to baseline composites reinforced with the two- dimensional fiber cloth alone. Embodiments of the nanocomposite may also be configured to perform multiple functions simultaneously, such as bearing a thermal or mechanical load simultaneously or bearing a mechanical load while also monitoring the state of damage within the nanocomposite.

L'invention concerne un renforcement composite tridimensionnel, un nanocomposite multifonctionnel renforcé de façon tridimensionnelle, et des procédés de fabrication de chacun. Le renforcement tridimensionnel comprend un tissu fibreux bidimensionnel sur lequel des nanotubes de carbone ont été mis à croître, approximativement perpendiculairement au plan du tissu fibreux. Le nanocomposite comporte le renforcement tridimensionnel et un matériau de matrice l'entourant. Des exemples illustrent des améliorations des propriétés mécaniques, thermiques et électriques à travers l'épaisseur du nanocomposite, en plus d'améliorations importantes de la stabilité géométrique lors de changements de température et d'un amortissement de vibrations, par comparaison à des composites de référence renforcés avec le tissu fibreux bidimensionnel seul. Des modes de réalisation du nanocomposite peuvent également être configurés pour remplir de multiples fonctions simultanément, de façon à être un support de charge thermique ou mécanique simultanément, ou un support d'une charge mécanique tout en surveillant également l'état de détérioration dans le nanocomposite.
