This article aims to describe the structure of these materials and their multi-functionality. An analytical estimation of physical properties was presented, using the homogenization technique. Then, a numerical study in Abaqus, to determine thickness and volume fraction effect of CNts on the behavior of composite materials. %G English %L hal-03648229 %U https://hal-ensta-bretagne.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03648229 %~ UNIV-BREST %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-UBS %~ UBS %~ ENIB %~ IRDL %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-MECA %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-PTR1-IRDL
