TLDR
In this article, the interfacial properties between carbon fibers and surrounding matrix of a composite are drastically affected by interfacial structure, which mainly relates to the surface physico-chemistry of the fiber, which includes its surface chemical groups and microstructure, morphology, surface area, and surface free energy.Abstract:
The interfacial properties between carbon fibers and surrounding matrix of a composite are drastically affected by interfacial structure. This structure mainly relates to the surface physico-chemistry of the fiber, which includes its surface chemical groups and microstructure, morphology, surface area, and surface free energy. These properties can be changed by various surface treatments, including various dry and wet oxidation steps, plasma treatment, electrodischarge, and fiber sizing or coating. These methods improve the interfacial properties significantly and synergistically, although each treatment has its specific application area.read more

The Role of the Interface in Carbon Fibre-Epoxy Composites
J. Schultz,L. Lavielle,C. Martin +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the acid-base surface characters of carbon fibres and the epoxy matrix were determined allowing the interactions at the interface to be described by a specific interaction parameter, and it was shown that the shear strength of the interface, as measured by a fragmentation test, is strongly correlated with this specific interaction parameters, demonstrating the importance of acidbase interactions in the fibre-matrix adhesion.

Adhesion of Graphite Fibers to Epoxy Matrices: II. The Effect of Fiber Finish
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of finished and unfinished graphite fibers concludes that the mechanism by which an epoxy compatible finish operates is different from what has been hypothesized to date, and they conclude that the finish layer creates a brittle interphase layer between the fiber and matrix which increases the interfacial shear strength but at the expense of changing the failure mode from interfacial to matrix.
