It was also found that the experimental modulus of the nanocomposites
was lower than the theoretical predictions based on
Halpin-Tsai and Krenchel. The comparison between the theoretical
and experimental results showed that CNF has good potential as a
reinforcement, especially if the nanofibers can be aligned but also
that it might be possible to improve the properties even for randomly
oriented nanofibers if the dispersion can be improved
