Assessment of F-III and F-12 aramid fiber/epoxy interfacial adhesions based on fiber bundle specimens

High Pressure Resistant Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite Pipe Design

“…Various studies have been carried out to modify the aramid fiber surface in order to improve the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and the matrix. The purpose of aramid fiber surface modification is to improve the chemical activity of the surface, increase the surface roughness and provide an excellent chemical bond and mechanical interlocking between the fiber and the matrix [14].…”

Enhanced interfacial adhesion of aramid fiber reinforced rubber composites through bio‐inspired surface modification and aramid nanofiber coating

“…1,2 Aramid fiber (AF) has been extensively studied in polymer reinforcement due to its excellent comprehensive properties, such as high strength, high modulus and low density. 3 Excellent interfacial adhesion is the key to the stress transfer efficiency of FRPC. However, due to the chemical inertness and high crystallinity of the surface of AF, the AF-reinforced rubber composites usually have poor interfacial adhesion, which affects the safety and service life of the product during use.…”

Surface modification of an aramid fiber via grafting epichlorohydrin assisted by supercritical CO2

“…1,2 The premise that the ber can be applied well in various elds is because the reinforcing phase and the matrix phase need to form a good interface, which oen determines the quality of the composites. 3 In the structure of AF-reinforced composites, the ber responsible for the performance along the ber axis signicantly exists as the main load-bearing part, while the matrix primarily associated with the interlayer property plays a role as a bridge to connect and x the ber. However, there are a few active groups on the AF surface and the amide functional group forms a p-conjugation effect on the adjacent benzene ring in the molecular chains.…”
