The paper researched the electrical properties of carbon fiber graphite cement-matrix composites(CFGCC) containing carbon fiber 0.5% (mass fraction of cement, the same below) and graphite powder 0%~30%, and the impact of environmental temperature(10~50°C) and relative humidity (20%~60%) to electrical properties of CFGCC by the four-probe method and KSON high and low temperature environmental chambers. The results have shown: the electrical resistivity of CFGCC decreases with increasing the content of graphite; the relationship curve of electrical resistivity and concentration of graphite exists percolation phenomena, the percolation threshold of CFGCC is about 25%; the electrical resistivity of CFGCC have decreased with increasing temperature; the variation rate of electrical resistivity have decreased with increasing the contents of graphite; the electrical resistivity have changed a little as the humidity changed, and the trend is towards smaller as a whole.

The reflectivity of ferrocene-doped carbon fiber-reinforced cement-matrix composites against the electromagnetic radiation was measured in the frequency range of 8-18 GHz for different carbon fiber contents of 0.4, 0.6, 0.89, 1.33, and 1.78 wt% by mass of cement. The ferrocene was doped in 0.89, 1.78, 3.56, 4.89, and 6.27 wt% by mass of cement respectively. The maximum reflectivity reached -4.0 dB when the fiber percentage was 0.89 and the ferrocene was 3.56. The microwave was attenuated by 64 % through reflection. The minimum reflectivity -7.5 dB occurred when the fiber percentage was 1.33 and the ferrocene percentage was 4.89. The microwave was attenuated by 67.5 % through absorption. Prior to the fiber percentage of 0.89 and the ferrocene percentage of 3.56, the reflectivity kept rising.

This study aims to provide a mitigation strategy for reducing the economic and environmental impacts of carbon fiber wastes deriving from automotive industry. Recycling and reuse in the construction industry is proposed, according to an industrial symbiosis within a circular economy perspective. Specifically, the process consists of repurposing carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) scraps/waste into new cement-matrix composites, for which the resulting benefits, in terms of mechanical and environmental performance, are herein described. An experimental campaign, starting with a specific heat treatment of CFRP sheets and an accurate dimensional distribution analysis of the short carbon fibers, is presented. The influence of the fiber content and length on both the workability and the mechanical performance of cement-based carbon fiber reinforced mortars is also evaluated. A reduced amount of either sand or cement (up to 8% and 12.8% in volume, respectively) is also considered in the mix design of the fiber reinforced mortars and derives from the substitution of the sand or binder with an equivalent volume of CFRP fibers. The results show a satisfactory increase in compressive and flexural strength in the range 10–18% for the samples characterized by a volume fraction of fibers of approximately 4% and having a 2–5 mm length. Finally, a life cycle assessment (LCA, 14040/14044) was carried out to quantify the environmental burden reductions associated with the implementation of the proposed symbiotic scheme.

ABSTRACTThe tailoring of the sign and magnitude of the absolute thermoelectric power was achieved in structural composites by the choice of the reinforcing fibers and of the particulate filler between laminae. The resulting thermoelectric structural composites included continuous carbon fiber polymer-matrix composites and short fiber cement-matrix composites. In addition, it resulted in thermocouples in the form of structural composites. The fibers and interlaminar filler impacted the thermoelectric behavior in the longitudinal and through-thickness directions respectively.

This paper presents a compressive test program designed to determine the mechanical and self-sensing properties of cement-matrix composites containing carbon fiber. Two kinds of mixes with 0.5% and 0.75% carbon fiber (CF) were prepared. The mechanical and piezoresistive properties of the cement-matrix composites were evaluated at 28, 90, 180, 270, and 360 d. The results show that the mechanical properties were enhanced in most cases. However, the compressive strength of carbon fiber reinforced cement-matrix composites decreased compared with the reference mix at the early curing ages, which agrees with the results mentioned in the literature. What is worth to mention, the 360 d compressive strength of carbon fiber reinforced cement-matrix composites reached the same level as that of the reference. Moreover, both negative and positive piezoresistivity were observed during the experiments. The amplitude of piezoresistivity was found to change with the variation of moisture content, and was not directly proportional to the magnitude of the stress. In the elastic stage with smaller stress amplitude, the piezoresistivity amplitude was larger. When the stress amplitude was multiplied, the piezoresistivity change was not synchronous. The gauge factor for the composite with 0.75% CF was higher than that of the composite with 0.5% CF and commercially available strain gauges.

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.
