Unidirectional, cross-ply, and quasi-isotropic composite laminates are made from continuous carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns with bismaleimide (BMI) resin. The laminates are highly graphitic and have low resin content. Elastic modulus and strength of CNT/BMI laminates and IM7/8552 carbon-epoxy laminates...
