“…A variety of mechanisms have been proposed to account for the adhesion within the fiber-matrix interphase. These include the wetting of the fiber by the resin, chemical bonding, mechanical interlocking, and crystalline interactions (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Much of the art of manufacturing high quality thermoplastic composites lies in exploiting these mechanisms.…”

A carbon fiber (CF) /polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite was manufactured using hybrid fabrics composed of CF and PEEK fiber. The fiber/matrix interface was modified by low temperature oxygen plasma treatment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEMI, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XF'S) and Fourier transform attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) were used to relate the roughness and the functionality of the CF surface with the interfacial adhesion strength of the CF/PEEK composite. Scanning electron micrographs showed that plasma treatment increased the roughness of the CF surface up to 3 min of plasma treatment time; and prolonged treatment resulted in overall smoothing. XPS results confirmed that increasing treatment time marginally increased surface functionality: treatment for more than 5 min decreased the surface functionality by removing the active site of the CF surface. In addition, flexural strength and interlaminarshear strength (ILSS) of the CF/PEEK composite were measured. Their maximum values were observed at 3 min of plasma treatment time as a result of surface roughening by plasma etching. The SEM results were correlated with mechanical properties of the CF/PEEK composite.

“…arbon fibers are well known for their high specific C strength and stiffness both in tension and in compression. Composite materials based on these fibers have been increasingly used in primary and secondary structures during the last decade (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). However, the advantages of these materials are significantly reduced because of their susceptibility to impact damage.…”

Hybrid composites were prepared by adding one or two plies of polyethylene (PE) fabric to the bottom side of four-ply carbon fiber/vinylester composites. The effect of the surface treatment of PE fiber on the impact properties of carbon fiber/PE fiber hybrid composites was investigated using oxygen plasma, y-MPS, and y-MPSmodified polybutadiene (PB/y-MPS) as surface modifiers. Carbon fiber/vinylester composite exhibited brittle failure with cross-shaped crack at the back side. The addition of PE fabric on the bottom side resulted in a change of the impact behavior of hybrid composites. After hybridization, the absorption of much impact energy was attributed to a considerable degree of plastic deformation in PE plies and the delamination at the interface between carbon and PE layer, However, the surface treatment of PE fiber reduced the impact energy of composites with restriction of deformation at the interface between the carbon and the PE layer. Moreover, the addition of a treated PE layer decreased the degree of deformation with a daggershaped deformation zone at the back side. The extent of the deformation area had a significant effect on the impact energy of the hybrid composites.

Currently, many methods are used to improve the fracture toughness of graphite/epoxy composites. However, no work has been done on the prepreg treatment with Ar+ ion irradiation. In the present work, the effect of surface treatment of prepreg by Ar+ ion irradiation on the delamination resistance of unidirectional graphite/epoxy laminated compositeswas studied. The surface of the prepregwas treated with Ar+ ion irradiation under oxygen environment, and the change of contact angle with surface-treatment was measured. Two kinds of [06//06] DCB (double cantilever beam) specimens were made: (1) DCB specimens made of graphite/epoxy prepregs that had been surface-treated with Ar+ ion irradiation under oxygen environment (Laminate A) and (2) DCBspecimens made of regular, untreated graphite/epoxy prepregs (Laminate B). The delamination resistance curve of Laminate A was compared with that of Laminate B so that the effect of prepreg treatment on the resistance behavior could be determined.
