Comparative study on effects of epoxy sizing involving ZrO2 and GO on interfacial shear strength of carbon fiber/epoxy composites through one and two steps dipping routes

Three‐dimensional structured MXene/SiO2 for improving the interfacial properties of composites by self‐assembly strategy

“…The composites were cured for 2 h at 90, 120, and 140 C sequentially to furnish the final samples. The density of the composites was measured according to the Archimedes principle, which was about 1.41 g/cm 3 .…”

“…[1,2] However, the application and development of CFRP is limited due to the natural poor interfacial adhesion between fiber and the matrix resin. [3,4] One of the most efficient approaches to surmount this obstacle is to enhance the interfacial bonding between them. [5,6] There are many endeavors toward CF surface modification to enhance the interfacial properties of composites, including chemical grafting, [13][14][15][16][17] sizing, [18] coating, [19] electrochemical deposition, [20] among others.…”

Effect of Sizing Agents on Surface Properties of T800 Grade CF and Thermal Aging Time on Mechanical Properties of T800 Grade CF/Epoxy Composites

“…In addition, sizing agents can change surface appearance by generating uneven folds and increasing roughness, which are benefit to interface bonding strength by "anchor effect" [10][11][12]. In order to acquire one optimized sizing agent for a specific CF reinforced composite, researchers have made many attempts for analyzing different factors of sizing agents, such as chemical composition, molecular weight, dispersion of function groups, solution properties, or molecular modification [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Among them, molecular weight is considered as an important factor influencing on surface roughness and thermal stability.…”

Synergy of B4C@MoS2 hybrid for significantly improved mechanical and tribological properties of PI/PTFE fabric composites

“…Hence it was necessary to incorporate lubricants such as 2D materials to exert the synergistic effect with B 4 C in order to strengthen the abrasion resistance and lubrication performance of polymer composites such as ZrO 2 /GO. 21 CuO/C 3 N 4,…”
