In this article we investigated properties of elementary carbon fibers after their activation and subsequent deposition of thin layers of metal coatings on their surface. For deposition we used copper, titanium and stainless steel. We investigated influence of various technologies of preliminary processing of the fiber surface on the value of the adhesion strength of the metal coating to the carbon tape and on the mechanical properties of elementary fibers. We established that the strength of carbon plastics at interlayer shear increases by 10-30% when using carbon tapes and fabrics with a metal coating.

Term Storage

Four types of metal coatings made of stainless steel, silver, titanium and copper were deposited on the surface of unidirectional carbon tape by the magnetron sputtering technology. The experimental evaluation results of strength of elemental carbon fibers with the metal coatings and strength of carbon-filled plastics based on them during the interlaminar displacement are presented. When producing the carbon-filled plastics an epoxy binder and the vacuum infusion technology were used. It has been found out that all the used metal coatings lead to an increase in strength of the carbon-filled plastics during the interlaminar displacement. The carbon tape with the stainless steel coating has the highest strength increase (by 50%). However, during long-term storage, the coating effectiveness of the metalized carbon tapes decreases.

The Impact

Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTP) are expected to be used as a structural material for aircraft and automobiles not only for their mechanical properties such as high specific strength and high specific rigidity but also for their high recyclability and short molding time. Generally, in a composite material having a laminated structure, interlaminar delamination is often caused by an out-of-plane impact, so the interlayer property plays an important role in the mechanical properties. It has been reported that the fiber/matrix interfacial strength increases by grafting carbon nanotubes (CNT) on the carbon fiber surface. In this study, CNT grafted carbon fibers were used for reinforcement of CFRTP laminate for the improvement of impact properties of CFRTP laminates. The impact absorbed energy of the CFRTP laminate using CNT grafted carbon fibers as reinforcing fiber was higher than that using untreated CF.

In order to investigate the influence of carbon fiber’s surface state on the mechanical properties and the fiber-matrix interaction of CFRP, the change of surface state was achieved by thermal treatment of carbon fibers at elevated temperatures, and the surface state was characterized by XPS. The mechanical properties were measured from the flexural test. The CFRP reinforced with 600 °C treated fabrics containing the highest reactive functional groups, showed the highest flexural strength and modulus. But in the case of CFRP reinforced with 1500 °C treated fabrics containing the lowest reactive functional groups, exhibited the lowest flexural strength and modulus. Combining the mechanical properties with the microstructure analysis, the results indicated that the fiber-matrix interaction (strong or weak) depends on the relative percentage of reactive functional groups present on the carbon fiber surface.

Pan Fibers

In recent years use of electrospun nanofibers and nanoparticles to improve the interlaminar properties have increased significantly. In most of the cases the additional interlaminar phase of nanofibers is required to go through various thermal and/or chemical processes. There has been emphasis to optimize the interlaminar nanofiber layers to achieve the optimum desired mechanical properties such as interlaminar strength. One common practice is to disperse nanofibers into the resin and then use the nanofiber enhanced resin to fabricate the laminated composites. However, proper dispersion and fiber filtering out are some of the problems that exist in fabrication using the nanofiber mixed resin approach. To alleviate this problem, an innovative approach of growing PAN (polyacrylnitrile) nano fibers directly on carbon fabric by electrospinning seems to solve the dispersion and fiber filtering problem. However, as PAN fibers require stabilization and carbonization, it is obvious that carbon fabric with PAN fiber deposition will have to undergo stabilization and carbonization process. The effect of stabilization and carbonization heat treatment on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber fabric is not yet fully understood. This paper presents the effects of heat treatment on carbon fabric used for fabricating laminated carbon fiber reinforced composite with epoxy resin. The heat treatment was performed at 280°C in air for six hours, and 1200°C for one hour in nitrogen which are similar to stabilization and carbonization of pure PAN fibers. The effects, due to heat treatment, were mainly characterized in terms of mechanical properties by performing tensile tests and shear tests. Fiber surface topography was observed by SEM to analyze physical changes. Chemical changes, corresponding to the existing groups with carbon fibers, were examined through FTIR. The results obtained are compared with a set of control laminated composite specimens, which were fabricated using heat vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (HVARTM) process and cured at 149°C. The two sets of composite were infused with resin in a single vacuum bag to ensure that both sets of specimens have identical resin infusion and cure cycle. Laminates used for making control specimens were fabricated using carbon fabric which did not undergo any heat treatment. A change in laminate thickness for heat treated carbon fabric was observed indicating a possible bulk up of the carbon fibers due to loss of sizing compounds, which also resulted into significant change in tensile properties.

AbstractIn this work, the influence of carbon fiber surface treatment on mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester was investigated. Two approaches have been used in the surface treatment; the first is the desizing of the carbon fiber by the release of the epoxy layer. The second is with the release of epoxy layer and etching the fibers. It was concluded that both methods give good results on adhesion between the matrix and the fibers. It is found that the treatment of carbon fibers is efficient and greatly improves the CFRP handress. The tensile strength of composite materials increases by 30% for etched carbon fibers compared to untreated carbon fibers.SEM images confirm the results obtained.

In this study, we present a novel approach to graft a large number of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) chains onto the carbon fiber (CF) surface through reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Characterization results of FT-IR, XPS and TGA demonstrated that PGMA was covalently combined with carbon fibers. The CF/epoxy composites were obtained by addition of pristine CF and CF functionalized with poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (CF-PGMA) into epoxy resin. Experiment results revealed that the grafting of PGMA chains on the CF surface could increase significantly roughness and number of active groups of CF, which enhanced interface and mechanical properties of the composites. The compression strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of CF-PGMA/epoxy composites are enhanced by at least 63.1%, 37.9% 55.6% and 122.5%, respectively, compared to pristine carbon fiber/epoxy composites. This enhancement indicates that surface modification of the carbon fibers by RAFT technique is a potential method to preparing CF-reinforced polymer matrix composites with excellent mechanical properties.

Carbon fabrics are widely used in polymer based composites. Nowadays, most of the advanced high-performance composites are based on thermosetting polymer matrices such as epoxy resin. Thermoplastics have received high attention as polymer matrices due to their low curing duration, high chemical resistance, high recyclability, and mass production capability in comparison with thermosetting polymers. In this paper, we suggest thermoplastic based composite materials reinforced with carbon fibers. Composites based on polysulfone reinforced with carbon fabrics using polymer solvent impregnation were studied. It is well known that despite the excellent mechanical properties, carbon fibers possess poor wettability and adhesion to polymers because of the fiber surface chemical inertness and smoothness. Therefore, to improve the fiber–matrix interfacial interaction, the surface modification of the carbon fibers by thermal oxidation was used. It was shown that the surface modification resulted in a noticeable change in the functional composition of the carbon fibers’ surface and increased the mechanical properties of the polysulfone based composites. Significant increase in composites mechanical properties and thermal stability as a result of carbon fiber surface modification was observed.
