The surface treatment of carbon fibers (CFs) was carried out using a self-synthesized sizing
agent. The effects of sizing agent on the surface of CFs and the interface properties of …

Interests on carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are growing rapidly, but the
challenges with poor interfacial adhesion have slowed their adoption. In this work, a …

The performance of carbon fiber reinforced composites is to a great extent dictated by the
interfacial adhesion strength between the fibers and matrix. In order to improve the …

Interfacial micromechanical performance of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyphenylene
sulfide (PPS) composite was studied by the microbond test. A novel homemade apparatus …

The performance of fiber-reinforced composites significantly relies on the microstructure and
properties of the fiber–matrix interface. Escalating the aspect ratio of the fiber surface by …

Two kinds of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) coatings were used for the
modification of the interface in carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyarylacetylene (PAA) matrix …

The interface between reinforcing fiber and matrix is a crucial element in composite
performance. Homogeneous and interconnected carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were deposited …

In order to comprehend the influence of different “rigid-flexible” structures on the interface
strength of carbon fiber (CF)/epoxy composites, CNTs was firstly chemically grafted on CFs …

Monofunctional (methacrylolsobutyl) and multifunctional (methacryl) polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane (POSS) were successfully grafted on a carbon fiber (CF) surface to enhance …

A carbon fiber surface is treated with silsesquioxane (SSO) coatings, including methyl-SSO
(MES-SSO), vinyl-SSO (VMS-SSO), and 3-(methacryloxy) propyl-SSO (MPMS-SSO). The …
