Abstract
A simulation is investigated to obtain properly enhanced matrices reinforced with nano fibers with different volume ratios of 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.6. Results from this investigation show that matrices reinforced with nano fiber volume ratios of less than 0.1 have useful properties and can be used for conventional fiber reinforced composites. Results, from matrices reinforced with nano fiber volume ratios greater than 0.1, are not as conclusive. This may be because the nano fiber reinforcement in the matrix interferes with the larger diameter fibers.
