Effect of carbon black on improving thermal stability, flame retardancy and electrical conductivity of polypropylene/carbon fiber composites

Conductive hybrid polymer composites based on recycled carbon fibres and carbon nanofillers

“…The presence of nanoadditives in composites only in the case of MWCNT and GBC has an additional impact on thermal stability [only at 1 wt% of weight loss (T 1% )] in comparison with composites containing carbon fibres (EP/70% sCF) about 26 and 29°C, respectively. The observed growth of thermal stability and the lower temperature could be both connected with good homogenization of MWCNTs and GBCs in the composites and with a higher thermal stability of these two nanoadditives [36,37]. The presence of not properly homogenized GNs in the composite (EP/ 66% sCF ?…”

Interface enhancement of carbon fiber reinforced methylphenylsilicone resin composites modified with silanized carbon nanotubes

“…CFs reinforced polymer composites with their favorable stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios are displacing traditional metal materials in a great many of high performance structural applications, such as aerospace and automotive industries [1][2][3][4]. However, the quality of fiber-matrix interface makes a critical contribution to the performance of composites [5][6][7].…”

“…Recently, the deposition of CNTs onto the surface of CFs has attracted considerable technical and commercial interests. Introducing CNTs onto fiber surface improve greatly the A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 interfacial strength by effectively increasing the fiber surface area, creating mechanical interlocking and local stiffening at the fiber/matrix interface. A variety of surface modification methods have been explored to graft or attach CNTs onto the fiber surface such as chemical grafting [13,14], CNTs modified sizing agents [15,16], electrophoretic deposition (EPD) [17] and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [18,19].…”

Fiber length distribution and thermal, mechanical and morphological properties of thermally conductive polycarbonate/chopped carbon fiber composites

“…With increasing CCF content, the maximum weight loss temperatures ( T max1 and T max2 ) in two stages are decreased by 12 and 6 °C, respectively, mostly due to the increasing content of silane coupling agent. The absolute values of maximum weight loss rate ( R max1 and R max2 ) obviously decrease, suggesting that the presence of carbon fibers delays the oxidation degradation of PC . Additionally, the residues consist of ash, silicon and incompletely decomposed parts.…”
