Funding
We gratefully acknowledge the funding provided by dstl (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, Porton Down, UK) and the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) (joint grant scheme grant GR/T24029/01), which allowed us to explore the "hairy fibre" route and fundamentals of hierarchical composites. We are also grateful to the MAST (Materials and Structures Technology) programme and the EU FP 7 programme StorAGE for current funding. The authors wish to thank Prof. Paul T Curtis and Garry Wells (both dstl) for valuable discussions and Dr Jonny Blaker (PaCE, Imperial College London) for editing the cover picture.
