The atomistic simulations of carbon nanotube (CNT) - carbon reinforced composite material are reported. The studied composite samples were obtained by impregnating certain amounts of CNTs (3,3) and (6,6) into pristine graphite matrix. The addition of CNTs is found to be of significant usefulness for nanotube-reinforced carbon composites since it allows to achieve extreme lightness and strength. Being impregnated into graphite matrix, nanotubes are able to increase the critical component of its highly anisotropic Young modulus by 2-8 times. The linear thermal expansion coefficients do not exceed 1E-5 K-1, making these composites applicable for aviation and space vehicles. The dispersion of CNTs within graphite matrix was found to drastically influence composite properties.
