“…The treatment introduces some functional groups, perforation and deep ridges on the fiber surface, which changes their roughness and promotes adhesion toward polymers. In our earlier study, we have reported on the beneficial effects of cold remote nitrogen oxygen plasma (CRNOP) treatment to CFs on their performance properties including tribological in adhesive and abrasive wears [10][11][12][13]. In this article, LAO wear performance of treated fabric composites is discussed in detail.…”

Polyethersulfone (PES) composites were developed with carbon fabric (CF). Cold remote nitrogen oxygen plasma (CRNOP) treatment was employed to the CF to incorporate functional groups and promote fibermatrix adhesion. This study includes the effect of PES melt flow index (MFI) on the wettability of CF and its influence on fretting wear performance. Evaluations of fretting wear properties of composites led to the conclusion that the CRNOP treatment proved beneficial to enhance performance properties significantly. Polymer MFI and treatment to CF proved to be the decisive parameters for controlling performance of composites apart from operating parameters. Perforations on the treated carbon fiber, evidently observed by FESEM, improved the fiber-matrix adhesion, and hence the performance properties. Artificial neuron network (ANN) was used for prediction of the wear behavior of composites.

“…Because, the room temperature is higher than the T g of the polypropylene (around 0°C). Moreover, aromatic thermoplastic polymers, such as polycarbonate [16,17], polybutylene terephthalate [18], polyethersulfone [19][20][21], polyetherimide [19,22,23], polyimide [24,25], polyetheretherketone [19,[26][27][28][29] and polyphenylenesulfide [30][31][32] have also been studied for high performance carbon fibers (CFs)/polymer matrix composites. In general, the aromatic polymers have high temperature resistance, high modulus of elasticity, and water resistance.…”

“…Meanwhile, it should be necessary to have good interfacial adhesion between CFs and matrix polymers for produce the high performance CFRTPs. Numerous methods for surface treatment of CFs, such as chemical modification [24,34], electrochemical oxidation [35][36][37][38][39][40][41], and plasma treatment [16,17,19,[21][22][23]29] have been studied to assure good interfacial adhesion. The basic idea of the CF surface modification is as follows.…”

Abstract. Acrylic polymers have high potential as matrix polymers for carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymers (CFRTP) due to their superior mechanical properties and the fact that they can be fabricated at relatively low temperatures. We focused on improving the interfacial adhesion between carbon fibers (CFs) and acrylic polymers using several functional monomers for co-polymerization with methyl methacrylate (MMA). The copolymerized acrylic matrices showed good adhesion to the CF surfaces. In particular, an acrylic copolymer with acrylamide (AAm) showed high interfacial adhesive strength with CFs compared to pure PMMA, and a hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA) copolymer containing both amide and hydroxyl groups showed high flexural strength of the CFRTP. A 3 mol% HEAA-copolymerized CFRTP achieved a flexural strength almost twice that of pure PMMA matrix CFRTP, and equivalent to that of an epoxy matrix CFRP.

“…Several articles are available on studies on tribological properties in adhesive [1][2][3] or reciprocating wear modes [4][5][6]. Though abrasive wear is the most severe kind of wear, it has not been exploited for performance evaluation of such composites in the literature except the authors' own work on plasma treatment [7], Nitric acid oxidation treatment, or gamma irradiation treatment method [8,9].…”

A method for surface treatment of carbon fabric with nano-particles of rare earth salt (ytterbium fluoride-YbF 3 ) was tried first time in the authors' laboratory to enhance the fiber-matrix interface, and has been reported here. In this article authors have reported on the performance evaluation of composites developed from the four fabrics treated with various doses viz. 0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% of YbF 3 . The abrasive wear performance of these composites was evaluated by abrading the composites against silicon carbide abrasive paper under varying loads. The treated fabric composites exhibited lower coefficient of friction and higher wear resistance as compared with untreated fabric composite. A linear correlation between ILSS (interlaminar shear strength) and wear resistance was observed. Both were the highest for 0.3% dosing of fabric. Since it was also desirable to compare the efficiency of this novel method of treatment of carbon fibers with conventional one, a few results of composites with plasma-treated carbon fabric were compared with the nano-particle-treated fabric composites. It was concluded that the latest method improved the abrasive wear resistance of composites almost two times more than the plasma-treated composites. Fiber-matrix interface was strengthened because of the treatment as observed from SEM studies, ILSS, and matrix pick-up studies. Increased roughness of fiber surface was observed in topographical analysis by SEM. Effect of treatment on fiber was also observed by adhesion test and fiber tow tension test. SEM studies of worn surfaces were performed to understand wear mechanisms.
