Abstract:The chemical surface modification was carried out in this study to improve the interface connection between carbon fiber and epoxy matrix to study the mechanical and fracture behavior of CF-reinforced epoxy composites. Finite element analysis was carried out by using ABAQUS software to simulate the variation of the tensile strength (TS), interfacial shear strength (IFSS), and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). The chemical surface modification was carried out by the chemical oxidation by nitric acid and subse… Show more
