Journal ArticleDOI
Electrochemical surface modification of carbon fibres by grafting of amine, carboxylic and lipophilic amide groups
Linden Servinis,Kathleen M. Beggs,Christina Scheffler,Enrico Wölfel,James D. Randall,Thomas R. Gengenbach,Baris Demir,Tiffany R. Walsh,Egan H. Doeven,Paul S. Francis,Luke C. Henderson +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface of carbon fiber was rapidly modified by reductive electrochemical deposition employing a range of diazonium salts, and three sets of fibre were generated possessing pendant amine, carboxylic acid, and lipophilic amide (N-hexyl amide) groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing carbon fiber composite interfaces using a ‘graft-to’ approach: Surface grafting density versus interphase penetration
James D. Randall,Daniel J. Eyckens,Linden Servinis,Filip Stojcevski,Luke A. O'Dell,Thomas R. Gengenbach,Baris Demir,Tiffany R. Walsh,Luke C. Henderson +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect on interfacial shear strength (IFSS) when grafting polyethyleneoxide (PEO) polymers of various molecular weights to a carbon fiber surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
An efficient high-throughput grafting procedure for enhancing carbon fiber-to-matrix interactions in composites
Daniel J. Eyckens,Filip Stojcevski,Andreas Hendlmeier,Chantelle L. Arnold,James D. Randall,Magenta D. Perus,Linden Servinis,Thomas R. Gengenbach,Baris Demir,Tiffany R. Walsh,Luke C. Henderson +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that simply impregnating carbon fibers with aryl diazonium salts and subjecting them to external stimuli, such as mild heating (100°C), can induce surface modification which can deliver improvements of up to 150% in interfacial shear strength (IFSS) in epoxy resins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fiber with Butterfly Wings: Creating Colored Carbon Fibers with Increased Strength, Adhesion, and Reversible Malleability.
Daniel J. Eyckens,Chantelle L. Arnold,James D. Randall,Filip Stojcevski,Andreas Hendlmeier,Melissa K. Stanfield,Jean Pinson,Thomas R. Gengenbach,Richard Alexander,Lachlan C. Soulsby,Paul S. Francis,Luke C. Henderson +11 more
TL;DR: Colored and color-changing materials are central to perception and interaction in nature and have been exploited in an array of modern technologies such as sensors, visual displays, and smart mater...
Journal ArticleDOI
Using molecular entanglement as a strategy to enhance carbon fiber-epoxy composite interfaces
Daniel J. Eyckens,Baris Demir,James D. Randall,Thomas R. Gengenbach,Linden Servinis,Tiffany R. Walsh,Luke C. Henderson +6 more
TL;DR: The tethering of an amphiphilic molecule to the surface of carbon fiber resulted in significant (+283%) improvements in interfacial shear strength and was confirmed by the synthesis and grafting of such a molecule to a carbon fiber surface as mentioned in this paper.
