Carbon fiber reinforcements with an excellent mechanical performance to weight ratio are
primarily preferred for advanced composite applications. The poor interfacial adhesion …

A point of major concern in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is the
interface between the carbon fibers (CFs) and the polymer matrix, which acts as the weakest …

Interphases exist in hybrid materials and significantly influence their mechanical
performance. To find a bridge between the microscopic and macroscopic mechanical …

A new epoxy resin matrix with good adherence to T800 carbon fibers (T800 CFs) in filament
winding was developed by addition of hardener and resin diluter. Interfacial behavior of the …

The purpose of the current work was to investigate the effect of oxygen plasma treatment of
carbon fibre on the interfacial adhesion in carbon fibre/epoxy composites. The adhesion …

Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) generally consist of different phases including the matrix
phase, the fibres as the dispersed phase and the fibre/matrix interphase. Of great …

For weight savings of automobiles to improve fuel efficiency, tensile and impact strengths of
carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) are important properties required for substitution …

Microwave plasma equipment was designed and manufactured to improve the interfacial
bonding and mechanical interlocking between carbon fiber fabric (CFF) and the polymer …

To investigate anthelmintic and nutritional effects of heather supplementation in goats
grazing perennial ryegrass-white clover pastures, 40 dry Cashmere goats were randomly …

This study is focused on the impact of oxygen plasma treatment on properties of carbon
fibers and interfacial adhesion behavior between the carbon fibers and epoxy resin. The …
