The present study focuses on the effect of two novel carbon fibre surface treatments, electropolymerisation of methacrylic acid and air pressure plasma, on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of carbon-fibre-reinforced composites under operational conditions. Extensive mechanical testing was applied, both in nano- and macro-scale, to assess the performance of the composites and the interphase properties after ultraviolet/humidity weathering. The results of the mechanical assessment are supported by structure, surface, and chemistry examination in order to reveal the failure mechanism of the composites. Composites with the electropolymerisation treatment exhibited an increase of 11.8% in interlaminar shear strength, while APP treatment improved the property of 23.9%, rendering both surface treatments effective in increasing the fibre-matrix adhesion. Finally, it was proven that the developed composites can withstand operational conditions in the long term, rendering them suitable for a wide variety of structural and engineering applications.

The main objective of this article is to develop a high wear resistance carbon fibre (CF)-reinforced polyether ether ketone composite with the addition of multi-wall carbon nano-tubes (MWCNT). These compounds were well mixed in a Haake batch mixer and compounded polymers were fabricated into sheets of known thickness by compression moulding. Samples were tested for wear resistance with respect to different concentrations of fillers. Wear resistance of a composite with 20 wt% of CF increases when MWCNT was introduced. The worn surface features have been examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Photomicrographs of the worn surfaces revealed higher wear resistance with the addition of carbon nanotubes. Also better interfacial adhesion between carbon and vinyl ester in a carbon-reinforced vinyl ester composite was observed.
