A novel epoxy/SiO2 hybrid sizing for carbon fiber surface was prepared through sol-gel technique, the structure of the sizing were analyzed, and the effects of the sizing on mechanical properties of carbon fiber composites were also investigated. The analyses by FT-IR and SEM indicated that epoxy/SiO2 hybrid sizing was prepared successfully, SiO2 particles dispersed in the hybrid sizing film homogeneously with nanoscale. The analyses on interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and impact properties of composites showed that the epoxy/nano-SiO2 hybrid sizing increased ILSS and improved impact properties obviously at the same time.

Abstract: An epoxy based nano-SiO2/TiO2/polyimide hybrid enhanced sizing for carbon fiber was prepared by modified SiO2/TiO2precursor in PAA collosol with silane couple agent(WD-50) and eligibility surfactant via sol-gel reaction, and both ultrasonic cavitation and multi-complex technology were used during the process. The properties of PAA-SiO2-TiO2hybrid sizing and micro-morphology of carbon fiber surface were analyzed by FTIR, DSC, Particle Size Analyzer and STM. The results indicated that nanoscale SiO2•TiO2particles dispersed in the hybrid sizing film homogeneously, and a layer with nano particles was formed on carbon fiber surface after treated by the hybrid enhanceing sizing. The roughness was increased and interface properties of carbon fiber would be improved. At the same time both tensile strength and the interlaminar shear strength were increased obviously.
