The poor interfacial adhesion between carbon fibers (CFs) and polyimide (PI) resin has seriously hampered the application of CF/PI composites. In this work, the interfacial adhesion was efficiently enhanced by grafting on the CF surface. Surface morphology and surface composition of modified carbon fibers were characterized, which indicated that acrylamide was grafted successfully on the CF surface and the surface roughness was increased slightly. After grafting, the interface shear strength of modified carbon fibers/PI composites was significantly improved by 86.96%, and the interlaminar shear strength was enhanced by 55.61% due to the covalent bonds in interphase and the toughening effect of sizing agent. Moreover, the mechanical properties of composites with different interfacial adhesion were measured, which further confirmed the effect of the grafting modification. 相似文献
The electrolytic plating of metallic nickel on a carbon fiber surface has been carried out in order to improve the interfacial adhesion and the mechanical properties in carbon fiber/phenolic matrix composite systems. The surface and the mechanical interfacial properties of composites are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), surface free energy, and the critical stress intensity factor (K(IC)). From the experimental results, it is clearly revealed that the oxygen functional groups and the metallic nickel on fibers largely affect the mechanical interfacial behavior of the composites, resulting in increased surface polarity, whereas the nitrogen functional groups have no effect. Also, a good correlation between surface oxygen functional groups and mechanical interfacial properties and between wettability and K(IC) is established and it is found that a 10 A m(-2) current density is the optimum condition for this system.

Carbon fabric (CF) was surface treated with silane-coupling agent modification, HNO3 oxidation, combined surface treatment, respectively. The friction and wear properties of the carbon fabric reinforced phenolic composites (CFP), sliding against GCr15 steel rings, were investigated on an M-2000 model ring-on-block test rig. Experimental results revealed that combined surface treatment largely reduced the friction and wear of the CFP composites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) investigation of the worn surfaces of the CFP composites showed that combined surface modified CFP composite had the strongest interfacial adhesion and the smoothest worn surface under given load and sliding rate. SEM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of carbon fiber surface showed that the fiber surface became rougher and the oxygen concentration increased greatly after combined surface treatment, which improved the adhesion between the fiber and the phenolic resin matrix and hence to improve the friction-reduction and anti-wear properties of the CFP composite. 相似文献
The oxidation-reduction and pre-irradiation induced methods were employed to study the effect of acrylic acid modification on the wetting and adsorption ability of carbon fiber (CF) in epoxy solution and the interfacial properties of CF/epoxy. Systematic experimental work was conducted to determine the surface topography, surface energy, surface chemical composition, absorbability and tensile strength of carbon fibers and interfacial adhesion of CF/epoxy before and after modification. The roughness, surface energy, amount of containing-oxygen functional groups and wetting ability were all found to increase significantly after modifications. The tensile strength of carbon fibers was improved marginally by γ-ray pre-irradiation while was decreased little by oxidation-reduction modification. Consequently, the surface modifications of carbon fibers via both oxidation-reduction and pre-irradiation led to an improvement (more than 15%) of the interlaminar shear strength of CF/epoxy composites. The mechanisms of interfacial improvement of modified CF/epoxy composites are proposed. 相似文献
In order to improve the dispersibility and interface properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in epoxy resin (EP), aromatic hyperbranched polyesters with terminal carboxyl (HBP) and aromatic hyperbranched polyesters with terminal amino groups (HBPN) were used for noncovalent functionalization of MWCNTs. Epoxy composites reinforced by different types of MWCNT were prepared. The effects of noncovalent functionalization of MWCNTs on the dispersibility, wettability, interface properties and mechanical properties of epoxy composites were investigated. The results show that the dispersibility and wettability of MWCNTs are significantly improved after noncovalent functionalization. A large number of terminal primary amines (NH2) on noncovalently functionalized MWCNT with HBPN (HBPN-MWCNT) form covalent bonds with EP matrix, and thus the interfacial adhesion is enhanced significantly, resulting in high load transfer efficiency and substantial increase in mechanical properties. The interface with covalent bonding formed between the flexible hyperbranched polyester layer on the surface of HBPN-MWCNT and the EP matrix promotes plastic deformation of the surrounding EP matrix. The toughening mechanisms of HBPN-MWCNT are MWCNT pull-out and a large amount of plastic deformation of the surrounding EP matrix. 相似文献
Dynamic thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen flow was used to investigate the thermal decomposition process of high-density
poly(ethylene) (HDPE)-based composites reinforced with cellulose fibers obtained from the recycling of multilayer carton scraps,
as a function of the cellulose content and the compatibilization. The Friedman, Flynn–Wall–Ozawa, and Coats–Redfern methods
were used to determine the apparent activation energy (Ea) of the thermal degradation of the cellulose component into the composites. Ea has been found dependent on the cellulose amount and on the cellulose/polymer matrix interfacial adhesion. In particular,
it has been evidenced an increase of the cellulose thermal stability as a consequence of the improved interfacial adhesion
between the components in NFR composites. 相似文献
Carbon fibre reinforced carbon and silicon carbide dual matrix composites (C/C–SiC) show excellent tribological properties and are promising candidates for advanced friction materials. A pressure infiltration/carbonization combined with liquid silicon infiltration was developed for fabricating C/C–SiC composites. The carbon fabric preform was fabricated with the three-dimensional needling method. In the pressure infiltration process, the carbon fibre reinforced plastic was prepared by infiltration of the fabric preform with the furan resin. Then the carbon fibre reinforced plastic was carbonized which was pyrolysed to form a porous carbon/carbon composites. Finally, the porous carbon/carbon was infiltrated with molten silicon to obtain C/C–SiC composites. The composites exhibit excellent friction behavior, including a good stability of brake, and the average dynamic μ is 0.38 and static μ is 0.50, in combination with the linear wear rate of about 5.6 μm cycle?1. Moreover, the friction surface was covered with friction film which is about 10 μm in thickness. These results show that the C/C–SiC brake composites are promising candidates for advanced brake and clutch systems. 相似文献
In order to improve the thermo-oxidative stability of three-dimensional and four-directional braided carbon fiber/epoxy composites, we introduced a gradient interphase reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GN) between the carbon fiber and the matrix, with a liquid phase deposition strategy. Both the interlaminar shear strength and the flexural strength of the composites were improved after thermo-oxidative aging at 140 °C for various durations (up to 1200 h). The interfacial reinforcing mechanisms are explored by analyzing the structure of the interfacial phase, thermal conductivity, weight loss, surface topography, fiber/matrix interfacial morphology and thermomechanical properties of the composites. Results indicate that the GN-reinforced gradient interphase provides an effective shield against interface oxidation, assists in thermal stress transfer, and restricts the movement of the different phases of materials at the composite interface. 相似文献
To improve the interfacial properties of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer composites, a surface treatment was used to cap cross-linked poly-itaconic acid onto carbon fibres via in-situ polymerization after itaconic acid grafting. The chemical composition of the modified carbon fiber (CF) surface was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectral and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy images showed that the poly-itaconic acid protective sheath was uniformly capped onto the CF surface and that the surface roughness was obviously enhanced. Chemical bonds also played a key role in the interfacial enhancement. The results showed that the interfacial shear strength of the composites with poly-itaconic acid on the carbon fibres (72.2 MPa) was significantly increased by 89.5% compared with that of the composites with pristine CF (38.1 MPa). Moreover, the poly-itaconic acid sheath promoted a slight increase in mono-fibre tensile strength. In addition, the interfacial mechanisms were also discussed. Meanwhile, the mechanical property of the functionalized CF/epoxy resin composites was also significantly improved. 相似文献
In this work, dense molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets were grown onto polydopamine (PDA) functionalized aramid fabric (AF) surface via a simple hydrothermal method to improve the wettability between AF surface and polyhexahydrotriazine (PHT) resin, thus resulting in stronger AF/resin interfacial bonding. The PDA-assisted surface modification on AF generated a high active interface allowing the nucleation and subsequent growth of MoS2. Moreover, this nanosheet-coated reinforcement fiber enabled the viscous liquid of resin precursor to spread over and form intimate contact with its surface, which eventually promoted the formation of strong interfacial bonding between AF-MoS2 and cured resin matrix. In addition, the enhanced interfacial bonding between the reinforcement and matrix generated stable mechanical interlock within the resulting AF-MoS2/PHT composites, and thus, contributed better thermal stability, higher tensile strength, and tribological properties. Compared with AF/PHT composites, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the AF-MoS2/PHT composites increased by 32.5% and 50%, and the average friction coefficient and wear rate of AF-MoS2/PHT composites decreased by 43.9% and 86.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the composites realized the non-destructive recovery of expensive AF at 25 °C. Overall, our study demonstrates a dependable strategy to construct the recyclable AF-MoS2/PHT composites, which exhibit valuable applications in tribology. 相似文献
The interfacial interaction between glass fibers (GFs) and polypropylene (PP) resin is the key factor which affects the properties of GFs reinforced PP composites. The β-transcrystallization (β-TC) structure induced by β-nucleating agent (β-NA) at the interface is beneficial to improving the interfacial performance and comprehensive mechanical properties. However, due to the poor adhesive ability, it is difficult to introduce β-NAs onto GFs surface directly. In this work, for solving above problem, the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and NH2 functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used to construct the network structure on GFs (CMC-CNT-GF) through plenty of active groups. Furthermore, the zinc phthalate (ZnPht, β-NA) was synthesized and coated on GFs surface by hydrogen bonds interaction with CMC-CNT and physical anchoring effect (ZnPht@CMC-CNT-GF). Finally, the hybrid GFs reinforced PP composite (iPP/ZnPht@CMC-CNT-GF) was prepared, which exhibited enhanced tensile, flexural, and impact strength by 20.1, 9.3, and 33.3%, respectively when compared with the iPP/raw GF due to the formation of β-TC and improvement of interfacial adhesion. This study provides an effective strategy to introduce β-NAs on GFs with network structure for improving interfacial properties by inducing β-TC to enhance the strength and toughness of composite, which could be applied in other fiber/semicrystalline polymer systems. 相似文献
Continuous atmospheric plasma oxidation (APO) was used to introduce oxygen functionalities to the surface of carbon fibres
in an attempt to enhance interfacial adhesion between carbon fibres and polyamide-12 (PA-12). APO only affects the surface
properties of the fibres while their bulk properties remained unchanged. Contact angle and ζ-potential measurements demonstrated
that APO-treated fibres became significantly more hydrophilic due to the introduction of polar oxygen-containing groups on
the fibre surface, which also resulted in an increase of surface energy on the carbon fibres. The interfacial shear strength
of single carbon fibre/PA-12 model composites, determined by single fibre fragmentation tests, showed an increase from 40
to 83 MPa with up to 4 min of APO treatment time which confirms that the fibre/matrix interfacial adhesion was enhanced. This
highlights that the incorporation of APO into composite manufacturing will allow tailoring of the fibre/matrix interface. 相似文献
Although jute fiber-reinforced PLA composites show strong application prospects, their low mechanical properties limit their applications to some extent. In this paper, nano-SiO2 particles as well as nano SiO2 modified by coupling agents which can efficiently improve the strength and toughness of composite materials are introduced into the PLA matrix. The bending, stretching and thermal properties of designed jute/PLA nonwoven composites were studied. The study shows that the nano-SiO2 particles are beneficial to the interface performance between the PLA matrix and jute leading to improvement in the mechanical properties and thermal stability. Moreover, thermomechanical properties indicate that the addition of SiO2 can improve the jute/PLA interfacial adhesion and increase the glass transition temperature of the material. Finally, toughening mechanism of nano-SiO2 particles in the jute/PLA composite was analyzed.
An approach was proposed for the quantitative determination of adhesion strength in composites, in which adhesion is created by other mechanisms than secondary interactions. The approach is based upon a model, which gives debonding stress as a function of interfacial adhesion. Debonding stress was determined by acoustic emission experiments. The mechanism of deformation was checked by SEM experiments and the approach was verified on composites with known interfacial adhesion. The results showed that the use of functionalized polymer in PP/CaCO3 composites resulted in adhesion strength one order of magnitude larger than without the coupling agent. The application of various surface modification techniques in PP/glass bead composites yielded different adhesion values covering a range of about one order of magnitude. The quantitative determination of interfacial adhesion makes possible the design and optimization of most surface modification techniques in particulate filled and short fiber reinforced composites. 相似文献
Summary: The viscoelastic properties of 30 vol.‐% composites of calcite, surface‐treated with fatty acids of different chain length, and polyethylene were studied. The alkyl chains decrease the surface energy of the particles and the adhesion between the polymer and the filler. The moduli of the composites decrease with decreasing interfacial adhesion. When the shear forces applied overcome the adhesion forces, interfacial slippage takes place. Terminal OH groups in the alkyl chains enhance the particles' agglomeration, leading to a solid‐like response in the low frequency region. The presence of a plateau in the log moduli versus log frequency plot can be due to local structures and is not necessarily an evidence of a percolating filler network.
Steady shear viscosity (σ = 1 000 Pa) of 30 vol.‐% surface‐treated (different acids) CaCO3‐HDPE composites plotted as a function of the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chains of the coated monolayer. The dotted line is simply a guide to the eye. 相似文献
