Given our possible future dependence on carbon fiber reinforced composites, the introduction of a renewable matrix might be advantageous for the vision of a sustainable world. Cellulose is a superior green candidate and provides exceptional freedom in composite design as the free OH groups can be conveniently functionalized to give tailor‐made materials. To obtain a high‐performing carbon fiber reinforced cellulose propionate composite, we accurately tailored the interfacial adhesion by invoking click chemistry. The synthetic strategy involved grafting of a phenylacetylene structure onto the carbon fiber surface, onto which O‐acylated 6‐azido‐6‐deoxycellulose and a number of aromatic azides could be covalently attached. Single‐fiber fragmentation tests indicated that the lipophilicity and size of the substituent on the deposited structure played a crucial role in determining molecular entanglement and mechanical interlocking effects, as penetration into the cellulose propionate matrix was of utmost importance. Enhanced interfacial shear strength was obtained for the carbon fiber covalently functionalized with the cellulose derivative. Nevertheless, the greatest increase was observed for the derivative substituted with a compact and highly lipophilic CF3 substituent. In a broader sense, our study provides a synthetic platform to bind cellulose derivatives to graphitic surfaces and paves the ways towards the preparation of innovative cellulose‐based carbonaceous materials.

“…Firstly, the load-strain curve of the bundle is determined by the tensile test as described in 3.4.2. en, the initial slope of the linear part of the analytical curve is tted to the experimental one. Equation (3) can also be written as: (4) where R 0 is the initial slope of the (F − ε) curve. Finally, by tting the nonlinear parts of experimental and analytical curves, the mean of strains to failure μ and its standard deviation S are determined.…”

“…Although the current global demand for carbon fibre, 82,400 tons per year, is lower than expected in last year's market reports [1,2], it is still expected to grow at a minimal annual rate of 9.0%. Global demand in carbon fibres is expected to reach 116,000 tons per year in 2021 for the less optimistic scenario [3] whereas other projections estimate a 150,200 tons demand [4,5]. In addition, the carbon fibre reinforced composites market obviously shows very similar growth trends.…”

is properly cited. e recent development of technologies for recycling carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) leads to the need to evaluate the mechanical response of recycled carbon fibres. As these fibres are likely to be degraded during the recycling treatment, it is very important to determine their tensile residual properties so as to evaluate their ability as reinforcement for new composite materials. Carbon fibres reclaimed by a steam-thermal treatment applied to degrade the epoxy resin matrix of a CFRP are here analysed. Two conditions were chosen so as to reach two degradation efficiency levels of the steam thermolysis. Several carbon fibre samples were selected for mechanical testing carried out either on single filaments using single fibre tensile tests or on fibre tows using bundle tensile tests. It is shown that the single fibre tensile test leads to a wide variability of statistical parameters derived from the analysis. Bundle tensile tests results were able to indicate that fibre strength of recycled carbon fibre is similar to corresponding as-received carbon fibres thanks to a statistically relevant database. Wide number of tested filaments enabled indeed to obtain low scatters.

“…As the term composites covers many materials, focus here has been given mainly to carbon fiber (CF) and fiber reinforced polymers. CF is a material, normally manufactured in filaments, which has a high carbon content (e.g., greater than 92%) and is a high strength-to-weight ratio material (Das, Warren, and West 2016). Applications of CF currently include high performance automobiles, aircraft sections, wind turbine blades, and gas pressure vessels.…”

“…CF and other composites can be engineered, for example, to be flexible, strong, and simultaneously lightweight, tough, durable, and long lasting (DOE AMO 2015. Composites such as CF, particularly for hydropower applications, give the potential for increased corrosion resistance compared to metals that would need corrosion protection against the environment (Das, Warren, and West 2016).…”
