Unlike the case of traditional dry fiber preforms, such as continuous or woven textiles, which exhibit a periodic microstructure having a relatively small representative volume element (RVE), the microstructure of pyrolyzed CCC is far more complex. In CCC a periodic fabric architecture is combined with a matrix that is highly stochastic exhibiting a broad distribution of pore sizes and a network of interconnected transverse cracks within tows and delaminations between layers that extend beyond the fabric intrinsic RVE dimensions.

The effect of the sample size on the effective permeability of the pore network developed during pyrolysis for cross-ply laminates having 5 and 33 layers is investigated.

Comparison with a state-of-the-art film stacking process revealed that similar, but also improved mechanical performance can be achieved by composites produced via the in-situ (i.e., at composite lamina level) SSP method. When the polymer is reacted at long intervals to achieve high molecular weights in-situ, a robust fibre-matrix interface is apparently formed, yielding fully cohesive failure of the composite (on fully desized fibres), while the improved polymer’s ductility enhances further the transverse performance.

The contact number is computed and analyzed across various real-world samples. Furthermore, the proposed equation is validated by examining the effects of all relevant factors on the contact number. Notably, the contact number approaches zero when the tunneling diameter (<em>d</em>) is less than 7.5 nm or the tunneling distance (<em>λ</em>) exceeds 5.6 nm, but reaches a maximum of 250 at <em>d</em> = 40 nm and <em>λ</em> = 1 nm.

Additionally, the highest contact number of 76 occurs by a CNF radius (<em>R</em>) of 40 nm, while <em>R</em> = 100 nm combined with a CNF length of 30 μm drastically reduce the contact number to zero. Consequently, thinner and longer CNFs provide a higher contact number.
