The effect of surface modification with nitric acid on the mechanical and tribological properties of carbon fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic polyimide composite

Abstract: Polyacrylamideacrylate (PAN)-based carbon fibers were submitted to nitric acid oxidation treatments to improve the interfacial adhesion of the carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced polyimide (CF/PI) composite. The carbon fiber surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Nitric acid oxidation not only affects the oxygen concentration but also produces an appreciable change in the nature of the chemical functions, namely the conversion of hydroxy-type oxygen into carboxyl functions. Nitric acid… Show more

“…As expected, the improvement in wear resistance is less pronounced for the reference composite as compared to that incorporating the aminated derivative with the same SWCNT content, related again to its lower load bearing capacity. Furthermore, surface functionalization of the CNTs enhances the wettability and the CNT-matrix interfacial adhesion, another factor that is known to improve the wear resistance of composites [40]. Therefore, the SWCNTs grafted with a polymer derivative can be considered as promising tribological additives for thermoplastic polymers.…”

“…Differing from thermoset matrix, it is difficult for commercial sizing agents (epoxy, polyurethane, etc.) to form chemical bonding with thermoplastic matrix . Though some researchers developed thermoplastic sizing agents for thermoplastic composites, the high cost and complex sizing methods limited its commercial application .…”

“…It is obvious that the bond structure seem more tight when the oxidation times of CF were 4 and 5 h, that is, there were few fibers separating from the rubber matrix. The low volume resistivities of NBR/CCB/CF‐4 h composites in Figure should be closely related with this firm bond structure . In addition, this firm bond structure had to be beneficial to the mechanical properties and conductive stability of NBR/CCB/CF composites.…”
