Effects of anodic oxidation treatment for three dimensional carbon fibre braided fabric on properties of its composite

Abstract

An anodic oxidation treatment method is developed in this paper which is capable of modifying the surfaces of carbon fibres in three-dimensional (3D) braided fabrics conveniently and uniformly. The results on the utilisation of this method in the surface treatment of 3D carbon fibre braided fabrics are presented. The effects of anodic oxidation treatment of 3D fabrics on the properties of phenolic resin composites are analysed and discussed. By appropriate treatment, the interfacial shear strength and compressive strength may be improved by 20% and 59 . 3% respectively. As far as the impact properties of the composites are concerned, the crack initiation energy was increased and the crack propagation energy decreased. Concerning ablative properties of the composites, the linear ablative rate was decreased by 10 . 7% and the maximum temperature of the underside of the ablative section was reduced by 2 . 7%.MST/4901

Effects of maleic anhydride content on mechanical properties of carbon fibers-reinforced maleic anhydride-grafted-poly-propylene matrix composites

“…To improve the surface properties and surface functional groups on carbon fibers, various surface treatments can be applied, including oxidation treatments, the use of coupling agents, plasma processing, coating process, fluorination or oxyfluorination and so on [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Among the diverse treatments, oxyfluorination is known to be effective for improving interfacial adhesion and increasing wettability of carbon fibers.…”

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr12MoV by ultrasonic vibration-assisted laser surface melting

“…There are many methods for surface hardening such as the mechanical [5,6] and electrochemical [7][8][9] methods however, the forehand mentioned techniques lead to a large energy consumption, complex processes, a large heat affected zone, a hardened thin surface layer and a low processing productiveness [10]. The laser surface melting method constitutes a widespread method for surface hardening leading to grain size refining and wear performance improvement of the melted surface layer [11] after solidification.…”
