The inherently brittle nature and the susceptibility to impact damage hinder the use of carbon/epoxy composite in some areas.In this study, poly ether ether ketone (PEEK) Iodine microparticles were incorporated to increase the resistance to delamination and interlaminar fracture toughness.A hand lay-up technique followed by compression molding was
