“…Composites were developed with CF and the PEI matrix based on an impregnation method, followed by a compression moulding technique [19]. After surface treatment the fabric pieces (80mmx80mm) were ultrasonically cleaned to remove any loosely adhering particles.…”

The surface of carbon fabric (CF) was treated with nanoparticles (NPs) of Ytterbium fluoride (YbF3) (40-80nm size) in various amounts (0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5wt%) to improve its wettability with a Polyetherimide (PEI) matrix. The effect of treatment on the fibres of the CF was also studied by adhesion testing and fibre tow tension testing. An improvement in wettability with PEI and a slight reduction in the tensile strength of the CF was observed in these tests. Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) indicated the addition of functional groups on the fabric after treatment. MicroRaman spectroscopy (MRS) showed a slight distortion in the structure of the CF due to the treatment. Increased roughness of the fibre surface and adhesion of NPs on the fibre surface were observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Composites were developed based on untreated and surface-treated CFs by impregnation techniques. The composites were analysed for interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and a maximum improvement of 61% was observed for the 0.3% concentration of YbF3, followed by a slight decline in ILSS, indicating that it was the optimum dose.

“…It has also been reported that reinforcement by fibers helps to control micro and macro-cracks diffusion through the material by generating a fiber bridging effect as well as to change the post-cracking behavior of the material from a brittle fracture mode to a ductile one, thanks to its enhanced strain energy dissipation ability [16]. Carbon and E-glass fabrics are the most commonly used materials for FRCs composites that are able to encounter harsh operating conditions such as high stress, speed, temperature ϰ [17][18]. Woven fabrics, mats and unidirectional fibers such as carbon, E-glass and basalt have been so far the most widely used to cast continuous fiber-reinforced composites in civil engineering applications [19].…”

This article signifies the improved performance of the various types of fabric reinforcement of geopolymer as a function of physical, thermal, mechanical, and heat-resistant properties at elevated temperatures. Geopolymer mixed with designed Si:Al ratios of 15.6 were synthesized using three different types of fabric reinforcement such as carbon, E-glass, and basalt fibers. Heat testing was conducted on 3-mm-thick panels with 15 9 90 mm surface exposure region. The strength of carbon-based geocomposite increased toward a higher temperature. The basalt-reinforced geocomposite strength decreased due to the catastrophic failure in matrix region. The poor bridging effect and dissolution of fabric was observed in the E-glass-reinforced geocomposite. At an elevated temperature, fiber bridging was observed in carbon fabric-reinforced geopolymer matrix. Among all the fabrics, carbon proved to be suitable candidate for the hightemperature applications in thermal barrier coatings and fire-resistant panels.
