An Analysis of Effect of CO2 Laser Treatment on Carbon Fibre Fabric

Abstract

Abstract:The colour of carbon fibre fabric is black which limits its aesthetic properties. CO 2 laser has been used for cutting carbon fibres. The impact of CO 2 laser treatment to modify the surface of carbon fibre fabric is investigated in this work. Different combinations of laser process parameters, i.e., pixel time (110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190 and 200 µs, with 10 µs intervals) and resolution (70, 80, 90 and 100 dpi (dots per inch), with 10 dpi intervals), were used for treating carbon fibre fabric surface. Since the laser process is a surface treatment, contact angle measurement was used for evaluating the wetting property imparted after laser processing. The resistivity of the laser-treated carbon fibre fabric was measured to evaluate any effect on the original electrical property of the carbon fibre fabric. Moreover, surface morphology and functionality of laser-treated carbon fibre fabric were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total internal reflectance (FTIR-ATR), respectively. SEM assessment was to examine the physical change in the carbon fibre surface after laser processing. On the other hand, the FTIR-ATR measurement can help to evaluate the chemical change in the carbon fibre surface after laser processing.

Single-Stroke Metal Nanoparticle Laser Scribing on Cellulosic Substrates for Colorimetric Paper-Based Device Development

“…The CHR paper surface that is originally uniform and smooth (Figure S3A,B) after laser irradiation exhibits melted-like zones, a more wrinkled surface, and microholes resulting in a more nano/microstructured surface (Figure S3C,D). Similar laser-induced effects have already been observed for pure cotton fabric (100% cellulose) 25,26 and lab-prepared cellulose nanofibers. 27 The changes were attributed to cellulose dehydration and the violent expulsion of reaction vapors and gases.…”

Effect of the Atmospheric Plasma Treatment Parameters on the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fabric

“…Liou et al [ 4 ] studied the effect of CO 2 laser treatment with several combinations of process parameters (i.e., resolution and pixel time) on carbon-fiber fabric. Infrared spectroscopy was used to determine the increment in chemical functional groups on the fiber surface to enhance its hydrophilicity.…”
