Data for determining the surface properties of carbon fiber in contact interaction with polymeric binders

Abstract

The data presented in this study are the supplementary materials related to the research paper “Determining the Surface Properties of Carbon Fiber in Contact Interaction with Polymeric Binders” (Voronina S.Yu. et al., 2018). The carbon fiber wettability properties before and after heat treatment and the coupling agent IR analysis results are presented. The coupling agent composition affects the fiber wettability and the capillary rise. The polymer binder impregnation rate drives the manufacturing process and the final composite quality. The data would be useful for researchers who study the interphase properties in composites and may help with determining the efficiency of applying certain polymers for wetting carbon fabrics.
