The surface of kevlar fiber was modified by phosphoric acid solutions (H3PO4) in this article. The structure and morphology of the modified fiber were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that some polar groups were introduced into the molecular structure of aramid fibers. The interfacial properties of aramid fiber/epoxy composites were investigated by the single fiber pull-out test (SFP). The results showed that the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of aramid/epoxy composites was remarkbly improved after surface modification and the breaking strength has not been affected appreciably. It provided an efficient method to make the surface modified Kevlar fiber for the application for the advanced composites at a lower production cost.

In this article, the potassium permanganate solutions (KMnO4) was used to treat the PPTA fiber based on an orthogonal experimental design. The optimum conditions of KMnO4treatment were concentration of 20%, temperature of 30°C and treating time of 20min. The interfacial properties of aramid fiber/epoxy composites were investigated by the single fiber pull-out test (SFP), and the results showed that the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of aramid/epoxy composites was remarkbly improved.

Surface modification of Poly(ρ-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) fiber has been considered an effcient way to increase the interfical bonding of the fiber/epoxy composites. In this article, the hydrogen peroxide solutions (H2O2) was used to treat the PPTA fiber based on an orthogonal experimental design. The optimum conditions of H2O2 treatment were concentration of 40%, treating temperature 40°C and treating time 60min. The morphology of the modified fiber were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The interfacial properties of aramid fiber/epoxy composites were investigated by the single fiber pull-out test (SFP. The results showed that the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of aramid/epoxy composites was remarkbly improved which was attributed to the fact that some polar groups were introduced into the molecular structure of aramid fibers and the physical structure of the treated fibers was not etched obviously.

In this article, active groups were introduced to the surface of aramid fiber by building a Cu2+ bridge between the aramid fiber and polyethyleneimine (PEI) to improve adhesion in composites between the aramid fiber and the matrix such as epoxy resin. The changes in the structure and properties of the aramid fiber were verified with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the single-fiber pull-out test. The FTIR and XPS results show a significant change in the structure and morphology of the aramid fiber after modification. The results of the single-fiber pull-out test show that the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of epoxy composites reinforced with PEI-grafted aramid fiber increases by 48.8% compared with the IFSS of epoxy composites reinforced with untreated fiber. Thus, the proposed method can improve the interfacial bonding of composites by creating a copper ion bridge between the aramid fiber and PEI.
