Carbon fiber surfaces and composite interphases
Mohit Sharma,Mohit Sharma,Mohit Sharma,Shang-Lin Gao,Edith Mäder,Edith Mäder,Himani Sharma,Leong Yew Wei,Jayashree Bijwe +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a systematic and up-to-date account of various carbon fiber surface modification techniques, i.e., sizing, plasma, chemical treatments and carbon nano-tubes/nanoparticles coating, for increasing the wettability and interfacial adhesion with polymeric matrices.

Surface characterization of carbon fibers using angle-resolved XPS and ISS
TL;DR: In this article, the surface composition of the as-received fibers is heterogeneous and undergoes significant changes upon nitric acid exposure, and the net effect of these surface treatments appears to be the systematic and preferential formation of carbonyl and carboxyl groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of C1s chemical state intensities with the O1s intensity in the XPS analysis of anodically oxidized glass-like carbon samples
TL;DR: In this article, an XPS study of anodic oxidized glass-like carbon (GC) was conducted in order to investigate the inconsistency between O1s/C1s and oxygen concentration (Ocal) calculated from the curve fitting results of the C1s spectrum.

A review of methods for improving the interfacial adhesion between carbon fiber and polymer matrix
Long-Gui Tang,J. L. Kardos +1 more
TL;DR: 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.

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.

The effect of low power plasmas on carbon fibre surfaces
Carol Jones,Ernest Sammann +1 more
TL;DR: The effect of low power plasma treatments (e.g., NH3, N2, air and Ar) on low modulus carbon fiber surfaces have been examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy using Grazing angle techniques as discussed by the authors.

Effect of surface treatment and sizing of c-fibres on the mechanical properties of cfr thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers
Erich Fitzer,R. Weiss +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a systematic study of oxidative surface treatment of carbon fibres by wet, dry and anodic oxidation, showing that in cases where thermosetting resins are used as the matrix, improvement of adhesion between fibre and matrix is caused by chemical interaction.

Structure and reactivity of carbons: From carbon black to carbon composites
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the chemical reactivity of carbons toward oxidation reagents depends primarily on their degree of crystalline organization, and several types of carbon surface groups can be evidenced on carbons.
