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.


In this work Tribological property of luffa fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites are carried out. The composites were fabricated using the compression moulding technique with optimum pressure of 150Mpa. The fabricated specimens were cut as per the ASTM standard of the wear test and ASTM G99 as followed for the entire testing of the wear. In this work, the applying load and velocity of the rotating disc was considered as a process parameter. The fiber loading was taken for the specimen to be fabricated as 30%. The test on the specimen was conducted for 10N, 20N, 30 N and velocity of 1m/s, 2m/s, 3m/s respectively. The result shows that coefficient of friction increase when increases in sliding distance..
