“…It is postulated that similar to biological materials, the nanostructured whisker creates a material gradient at the interval between fi ber and matrix that reduces the stress concentration and consequently enhances the energy dissipation in this region. [22][23][24]33,34 ] However, the working mechanics of the interface in the presence of whiskerization, which results in such unique structural properties, are not currently known.…”

Creating a hierarchical interface between the reinforcement and matrix phases of fiber reinforced polymer composites has become an effective strategy toward development of bioinspired structural composites. The resulting materials display exceptional characteristics such as having both high stiffness and high toughness simultaneously, which is rare in homogeneous materials. Although the efficacy of nanostructured interfaces has been established, the mechanisms associated with their performance have not been explored yet. Here, strain transfer across a nanowire interphase is visualized in order to understand the working principles of physical interface modifications. This is accomplished by using a functionally graded piezoelectric interface composed of nanowires, as their piezoelectric properties can be utilized to control the strain on one side of the interface. It is demonstrated that the nanowire “whiskers” cause an even strain transfer from the reinforcement phase into the matrix phase, eliminating stress concentration between the phases.

“…Although there has been interest in the growth of CNTs on carbon fibers with chemical vapor deposition, 6,7 the harsh environment damages the fibers and limits the feasibility of commercialization. ZnO whiskers have been grown on carbon fibers under benign reaction conditions, [8][9][10] and improvements in the interfacial shear strength (IFSS), lamina shear strength, and modulus were reported. The surface roughness of glass fibers has been increased by treatment with a tetraethylorthosilicate/glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPS) blend, with a modest increase in IFSS reported.…”

The achievement of optimum adhesion between a thermoset and an inorganic material is an important goal for the composites and coatings industries. There is a growing interest in the use of structural surface modifiers, such as nanotubes, nanoparticles, and whiskers, to improve this adhesion. Here, a method for electrostatically depositing poly(ethylene imine)-functionalized silica nanoparticles onto E-glass fibers was developed. The deposition of 26-nm functionalized particles onto glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPS)-functionalized E-glass fibers and then their embedding in a resin of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and m-phenylene diamine increased the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) 35% over that of bare fibers and 8% over that of GPS-functionalized fibers. IFSS was highly dependent on the particle size; the 16-nm functionalized particles had little effect on the IFSS. When the particles size was increased to 71 and 100 nm, this led to increasingly poor IFSS values, whereas the 26-nm particles produced the best results. Similar results were seen with the transverse flexural strength of the unidirectional composites.

“…The ZnO nanoparticle seeds were coated on the carbon fibers by dipping into the solution and then annealing the fibers at 150 o C for 10 min for a total of three times. And then 3.71 g of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1.75 g of hexamethylenetetramine (Sigma-Aldrich) were dissolved in 500 mL of distilled (DI) water and heated to 90 o C. The fibers were dipped into the beaker containing the growth solution while maintaining the temperature at 90 o C for 2.5 h. The fibers were rinsed with DI water to remove precipitates [9].…”

“…Owing to the piezo-electric and semiconductor properties, ZnO NWs are suitable for gas sensors, solar cells, light emitting diodes, and energy harvesting materials [7]. Additionally, ZnO NWs can increase the interfacial strength between the fiber and matrix from their rigidity and strong affinity, where they can provide a better mechanism to transfer load from matrix to fiber by effective mechanical interlocking [8,9]. Here, ZnO NWs are used as nano-sized templates for constructing carbon nanowire (CNW) arrays.…”

Based on mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA), a novel technique to fabricate carbon nanowire (CNW) arrays is presented for a possible use of porous carbon electrode in electrochemical energy storage applications. PDA can give more porosity and nitrogen-doping effect to carbon electrodes, since it has high graphitic carbon yield characteristic and rich amine functionalities. Using such outstanding properties, the applicability of PDA for electrochemical energy storage devices was investigated. To achieve this, the decoration of the CNW arrays on carbon fiber surface was performed to increase the surface area for storage of electrical charge and the chemical active sites. Here, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire (NW) arrays were hydrothermally grown on the carbon fiber surface and then, PDA was coated on ZnO NWs. Finally, high temperature annealing was performed to carbonize PDA coating layers. For higher energy density, manganese oxide (MnO x ) nanoparticles (NPs), were deposited on the carbonized PDA NW arrays. The enlarged surface area induced by carbon nanowire arrays led to a 4.7-fold enhancement in areal capacitance compared to that of bare carbon fibers. The capacitance of nanowire-decorated electrodes reached up to 105.7 mF/cm 2 , which is 59 times higher than that of pristine carbon fibers.
