Enhanced interfacial adhesion in carbon fiber/poly (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) composite through fiber surface treatment by an emulsion sizing

AbstractIn this work, the influence of carbon fiber surface treatment on mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester was investigated. Two approaches have been used in the surface treatment; the first is the desizing of the carbon fiber by the release of the epoxy layer. The second is with the release of epoxy layer and etching the fibers. It was concluded that both methods give good results on adhesion between the matrix and the fibers. It is found that the treatment of carbon fibers is efficient and greatly improves the CFRP handress. The tensile strength of composite materials increases by 30% for etched carbon fibers compared to untreated carbon fibers.SEM images confirm the results obtained.

Fiber Surface Treatment

Research was done on carbon fiber surface treatment techniques on boundary-bonding state and properties of short carbon fiber reinforced phenol formaldehyde (PF) resin/graphite composite. By gas-phase oxidative surface treatment (GPOST)、gas-phase and liquid-phase oxidative surface treatment (GLPOST), carbon fiber and PF resin /graphite matrix is on weak boundary bonding state. The exerted outside stress can not be effectively transmitted, the composite strength is lower than that of PF resin/graphite matrix; By thick nitric acid liquid-phase oxidative surface treatment (TNALPOST) which the nitric acid has high density, fiber and matrix is on relatively weak boundary bonding state, the exerted outside stress can be effectively transmitted and composite strength can be raised on some degree. With carbon fiber content by TNALPOST 3.wt%~ 4.wt% and PF resin content 15.wt%, the composite can meet both the mechanical strength and electrical conductivity requirement on carbon filler/polymer bipolar plate by USA Department of Energy.

Fiber Surface Treatment

The effect of carbon fiber surface treatment on interfacial mechano-electric properties of carbon fiber reinforced concrete is studied by single fiber pull-out testing. As-received carbon fiber is with poor surface polarity, and the fiber-matrix interface bonding strength is low. Surface treatment of the carbon fiber improves both the interfacial bonding strength and the interfacial ductility. The interfacial bonding force and interfacial resistance increased linearly with increasing displacement until the fiber-matrix debonding was completed. The superior interfacial mechanical properties can help improve the strain-sensing ability relates to the better repeatability and reliability. But the sensitivity decreases to some extent.
