An in situ diazonium grafting methodology was used to decorate the surface of carbon fibres with pendant amines. This methodology was shown to greatly affect IFSS in single fibre composites.

A model has been proposed that represents the compressive fragmentation phenomenon and can evaluate the interfacial shear strength without recourse to complicated stress transfer models. The temperature dependence of the interfacial shear strength is investigated for carbon fibre-polycarbonate microcomposites and the values obtained are applicable to a system that has weak interfacial bonding.

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastics (CFRTP) are expected to be applied to the automotive industry instead of CFRP which require curing time, due to the expected short production cycle time of CFRTP, which is using thermoplastic as a matrix. We reported that the grafting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the carbon fibre improves the fibre matrix interfacial shear strength. In our process to graft CNTs on carbon fibre, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method was used and Ni, which was used as the catalyst, was electrically plated onto carbon fibres. Since commercially available carbon fibre was sized, which may affect the plating behaviour of Ni, the effects of sizing agents on CNT deposition have to be clarified. In this study, Ni for catalytic metal was plated by electrolytic plating using a watt bath on spread PAN-based carbon fibre and unsized carbon fibre, and the influence of the sizing agent to the distribution of Ni was evaluated. The morphological observation of carbon fibre and single fibre pull-out test were conducted to clarify the influence of sizing agent on the CNT deposition and the interfacial shear strength between the CNT grafted carbon fibre and Polyamide 6 (PA6). Uniform distribution of small sized Ni particles can be obtained on unsized carbon fibre and uniform Ni particles results in uniform CNT distribution. The CNT grafted unsized carbon fibre showed higher interfacial shear strength with PA6 than that of sized carbon fibre.

Transportation sector is required to reduce CO2 emissions as environmental problems are becoming more serious. Carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) are expected to be applied to the structural parts of automobiles and aircrafts because of their superior mechanical properties such as high specific strength, high specific stiffness and high recyclability. One of the problems in using CFRTP for the structural parts is heat resistance, and it is necessary to clarify the mechanical properties under their service environmental temperature. The tensile strength of CFRTP at high temperatures decreases with temperature rise. The fibre matrix interfacial shear strength is reported to be improved by grafting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of carbon fibre. In this study, in order to clarify the effects of temperature on the fibre matrix interfacial shear strength of CNTs grafted carbon fibre reinforced PPS resin, single fibre pull-out test was conducted. While the interfacial shear strength of CNT grafted-CF/PPS is higher than that of As-received-CF/PPS at 25 °C, no significant difference was found in the interfacial shear strength of As-received-CF/PPS and CNT grafted-CF/PPS at 80 °C.

A processing route is presented to manufacture discontinuous carbon fibre-reinforced polypropylene composites, using much longer fibre lengths (25 mm) and higher volume fractions (up to 45%) than previously reported in the literature. Carbon fibre tows are coated with different ratios of polypropylene, blended with a maleic anhydride coupling agent, to investigate the influence of the interfacial shear strength at the microscale on the macroscale composite properties. Improvements in the tensile performance at the macroscale (70% increase) are not as high as those reported for the interfacial shear strength at the microscale (300%), following the addition of the coupling agent. Consequently, the tensile strength of the carbon fibre-reinforced polypropylene material is only 45% of values reported for carbon fibre/epoxy systems, however, the tensile stiffness is comparable. This demonstrates the potential for using carbon fibre-reinforced polypropylene for structural applications, following further process optimisation to overcome the current high levels of porosity (3.3% at 0.45 Vf) to improve the tensile strength.
