AbstractThe interfacial interaction between the fiber and matrix is the most important factor which influences the performance of the carbon fiber-epoxy composites. In this study, the graphitic surface of the carbon fibers was modified with graphene oxide nanomaterials by using a spray coating technique which is an easy, cheap, and quick method. The carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy matrix composites were prepared by hand layup technique using neat carbon fibers and 0.5, 1 and 2% by weight graphene oxide (GO) modified carbon fibers. As a result of SEM analysis, it was observed that GO particles were homogeneously coated on the surface of the carbon fibers. Furthermore, Young's modulus increased from 35.14 to 43.40 GPa, tensile strength increased from 436 to 672 MPa, and the elongation at break was maintained around 2% even in only 2% GO addition.

Newer manufacturing techniques were invented and introduced during the last few decades; some of them were increasingly popular due to their enhanced advantages and ease of manufacturing over the conventional processes. Polymer composite material such as glass, carbon and Kevlar fiber reinforced composite are popular in high performance and light weight applications such as aerospace and automobile fields. This research has been done by reinforcing the matrix (epoxy) resin with two kinds of the reinforcement fibers. One weight fractions were used (20%) wt., Epoxy reinforced with chopped carbon fiber and second reinforcement was epoxy reinforced with hybrid reinforcements Kevlar fiber and improved one was the three laminates Kevlar fiber and chopped carbon fibers reinforced epoxy resin. After preparation of composite materials some of the mechanical properties have been studied. Four different fiber loading, i.e., 0 wt. %, 20wt. % CCF, 20wt. % SKF, AND 20wt. %CCF + 20wt. % SKF were taken for evaluating the above said properties. The thermal and mechanical properties, i.e., hardness load, impact strength, flexural strength (bending load), and thermal conductivity are determined to represent the behaviour of composite structures with that of fibers loading. The results show that with the increase in fiber loading the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites increases as compared to short carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites except in case of hardness, short carbon fiber reinforced composites shows better results. Similarly, flexural strength test, Impact test, and Brinell hardness test the results show the flexural strength, impact strength of the hybrid composites values were increased with existence of Kevlar fibers, while the hardness was decrease. But the reinforcement with carbon fibers increases the hardness and decreases other tests.

Toray T300 PAN-based carbon fibers were surface oxidized in air at 300, 400 and 500 °C. The composition of surface was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and the monofilaments of original carbon fiber and surface oxidized carbon fibers were tensile tested at room temperature. Three-dimensional carbon fiber reinforced BN-Si3N4 matrix composites were prepared by precursor infiltration and pyrolysis using a hybrid precursor mixed by borazine and perhydropolysilazane. With the increase of the oxidation temperature, the content of size on the surface of fiber reduces, and the tensile strength of carbon fiber declines. Carbon fiber oxidized at 400 °C has a 93% residual strength and the fiber oxidized at 500 °C is seriously decayed. The composite reinforced by original carbon fibers exhibits excellent mechanical properties, including high flexural strength (182.3 MPa) and good toughness; while the composite reinforced by 400 °C oxidized carbon fibers is weak (only 102.4 MPa) and brittle. The distinct difference of mechanical properties between the two composite is attributed to the change of the interfaces between carbon fibers and nitride matrices.

Electroless Ni -plated short carbon fiber reinforced geopolymer matrix composites with various carbon fiber/matrix interface coating thicknesses have been successfully fabricated. The influences of coating thickness on the mechanical properties and fracture behavior have been investigated by three-point bending test and scanning electron microscopy. The flexural strength and Young's modulus of Ni -plated short carbon fiber reinforced geopolymer composites exhibit maximums as the average fiber coating thickness increases, but the work of fracture has a sharp decrease, and the fracture manner changes from ductile to brittle. This is mainly attributed to the fact that the carbon fibers favor breakage rather than pulling-out during loading because of the higher interface bonding strength of fiber/matrix, and pliability of the carbon fibers decreases with the increase of the coating thickness.
