An XPS study of the fibre-matrix interface using sized carbon fibres as a model

Carbon fibre reinforced poly(vinylidene fluoride): Impact of matrix modification on fibre/polymer adhesion

“…The new N-species at 405.5 eV can be assigned to -NO 2 functionalities and are only found after HNO 3 oxidation [45]. The broad band at 398.8 eV related to C-N species is believed to be pyridine-like rings near graphitic structures [46]. The deconvolution of 9 the O 1s and N 1s peaks confirms that the surface treatments created a large variety of functional groups.…”

Carbon nanotube-nanoporous anodic alumina composite membranes with controllable inner diameters and surface chemistry: Influence on molecular transport and chemical selectivity

“…All CNTs-NAAMs show a large peak at 284.6 ± 0.2 eV which can be attributed to the sp 2 hybridized graphite-like carbon atoms [35]. After oxidation with H 2 O 2 , a shoulder at 285.5-287 eV was formed which can be assigned to C-O (alcohol/ether) groups [36]. Another peak at 288 eV is attributed to C@O (keton/aldehyd) groups [37].…”

Activated carbons for applications in catalysis: the point of view of a physical-chemist

“…In particular, the contributions of alcohol (C-OH) or ether (C-O-C) groups, carbonyl groups (C=O), and carboxyl (O=C-OH) and/or ester (O=C-O-C) groups can be well separated. The last tiny signal around 292 eV is a satellite peak due to π-π* shake-up transitions in aromatic rings (Albers et al 1992;Biniak et al 1997;Darmstadt et al 1994;Desimoni et al 1992;Kozlowski and Sherwood 1986;Proctor and Sherwood 1983;Reis et al 1995;Xie and Sherwood 1989). and c) C 1s XPS spectrum of the same activated carbon, after background subtraction and deconvolution of the different contributions of C species to the total spectrum.…”
