Abstract Advanced materials with excellent performance are in high demand in modern industry. Carbon fiber composites offer a number of advantageous mechanical properties. A significant improvement in fiber-reinforced composites can be achieved by dispersing a very small amount of nanofiller in the resin. Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) is one of the most important processes for producing reinforced plastics. In this work, several composite samples were fabricated with the infusion of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) into the epoxy matrix using VARTM process. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was confirmed that CNFs were well dispersed in the resin. Bending tests were performed to investigate the mechanical properties of the samples, and SEM, to examine the fracture surfaces.

Based on the surface analysis of carbon fiber, an epoxy resin matrix with good wettability to carbon fibers had been developed and studied, and the influence of winding tension on the interface and mechanical properties of the composite were studied. The surface morphology of carbon fiber and the active functional groups of sizing agent were analyzed. In order to form a good interface combination, the wettability between carbon fibers and epoxy resin matrix was characterized by dynamic contact angle. The winding tension played an important role in the mechanical properties of composites. Therefore, a kind of carbon fiber reinforced composites, Naval Ordnance Laboratory (NOL) rings were fabricated using different winding tensions. Particularly, when the winding tension was 30 N, the interfacial bonding between carbon fibers and resin matrix was the most compact and firm. The tensile strength and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of NOL rings reached high values, 2712 MPa and 75 MPa, respectively.
