In this work, the layer-by-layer self-assembly technology was used to modify aramid fibers (AFs) to improve the interfacial adhesion to epoxy matrix. By virtue of the facile layer-by-layer self-assembly technique, poly(l-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine) (l-PDOPA) was successfully coated on the surface of AFs, leading to the formation of AFs with controllable layers (nL-AF). Then, a hydroxyl functionalized silane coupling agent (KH550) was grafted on the surface of l-PDOPA coated AFs. The properties such as microstructure and surface morphology of AFs before and after modification were characterized by FTIR, XPS and FE-SEM. The results confirmed that l-PDOPA and KH550 were successfully introduced into the surface of AFs by electrostatic adsorption. The interfacial properties of AFs reinforced epoxy resin composites before and after coating were characterized by interfacial shear strength (IFSS), interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and FE-SEM, and the results show that the interfacial adhesion properties of the modified fiber/epoxy resin composites were greatly improved.

To enhance the interfacial adhesion between carbon fibre and epoxy resin matrix, phenolic resin surface treatment agent has been carried out. The influence of phenolic resin treatment agent on interfacial adhesion of carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin composites were investigated by interlaminar shear strength, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the interfacial adhesion was improved greatly after carbon fibre treated by phenolic resin surface treatment agent.

As an efficient reinforcing material in resin matric composites, the application of basalt fibers (BFs) in composites is limited by the poor interfacial adhesion between BFs and the resin matrix. In this study, to obtain the basalt fibers/epoxy resin composites with enhanced mechanical properties, the modification solution containing different concentrations of Lanthanum ions (La3+) was synthesized to modify the BFs surfaces to enhance the poor interfacial adhesion between BFs and the matrix. The morphology, the chemical structure and the chemical composition of the modified BFs surface were observed and detected by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The results show that, after BFs were soaked in the modification solution, the more active groups (C=O, –OH, C–O, etc.) were introduced to the BFs surfaces and effectively enhanced the bond strength between BFs and the resin matrix. The obtained mechanical performances of prepared basalt fibers/epoxy resin composites showed that the tensile strength, bending strength and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) were improved with the modified BFs, and reached to 458.7, 556.7 and 16.77 Mpa with the 0.5 wt.% La. Finally, the enhancement mechanism of the modification solution containing La element is analyzed.
