Preparation and characterization of carbon fiber-reinforced thermosetting composites: a review

Abstract

Carbon fibers (CFs) have a unique combination of properties which allow them to be widely used as reinforcing materials in advanced polymer composites. The mechanical properties of CF-reinforced polymer composites are governed mainly by the quality of interfacial adhesion between the CFs and the polymer matrix. Surface treatments of CFs are generally carried out to introduce chemical functional groups on the fiber surfaces, which provide the ability to control the surface characteristics of CFs. In this study, we review recent experimental studies concerning various surface treatment methods for CFs. In addition, direct examples of the preparation and properties of CF-reinforced thermosetting composites are discussed.

Among them, the amount of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite material accounts for more than 70% of carbon fiber composites.…”

A review: role of interfacial adhesion between carbon blacks and elastomeric materials

“…These functional groups increase the bonding between the CBs and rubber, which results in stronger interfacial adhesion compared to the case when untreated CBs are used. Various surface treatment methods may be applied to CBs, including chemical, plasma, ozone, electrochemical, and heat treatment [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

A review: synthesis and applications of graphene/chitosan nanocomposites

“…Because its chemical structure is similar to that of cellulose, researchers have considered using it in the synthesis of fibers [25], and this has attracted considerable interest [26]. Graphene CS fibers have a unique combination of properties that will lead to applications in many fields [27].…”
