“…Furthermore, the moderately modulus gradient modulus interfacial layer contributed to balancing and buffering the modulus mismatch between CF and the matrix, facilitating the consistent and efficient transfer of external loads from the epoxy to the CF surface under high-temperature conditions. Additionally, the ILSS, IFSS, and flexural strength results of the CF composites obtained at 30 and 180 °C in this work were compared with those reported in other literature, 4,17,20,24,35,37,41 as depicted in Figure 7g.

To improve the mechanical performance of carbon fiber (CF)/ epoxy composites in high-temperature environments, a moderately modulus gradient modulus interlayer was constructed at the interface phase region of composites. This involved the design of a "rigid-flexible" synergistic reinforcement structure, incorporating rigid nanoparticle GO@CNTs and a flexible polymer polynaphthyl ether nitrile ketone onto the CF surface. Notably, at 180 °C, compared to commercial CF composites, the CF-GO@CNTs-PPENK composites displayed a remarkable improvement in their mechanical characteristics (interfacial shear, interlaminar shear, flexural strength, and modulus), achieving enhancements of 173.0, 91.5, 225.7, and 376.4%, respectively. The principal reason for this the moderately modulus interface phase composed of GO@CNTs-PPENK (where GO and CNTs predominantly consist of carbon atoms with sp 2 -hybridized orbitals, forming highly stable C−C structures, while PPENK possesses a "twisted non-coplanar" structure), which exhibited resistance to deformation at high temperatures. Moreover, it greatly improved the mechanical interlocking, wettability, and chemical compatibility between CF and the epoxy. It also played a crucial role in balancing and buffering the modulus disparity. The interface failure behavior and reinforcement mechanisms of the CF composites were analyzed. Furthermore, validation of the presence of a moderately modulus gradient interlayer at the interface phase region of CF-GO@CNTs-PPENK composites was performed by using atomic force microscopy. This study has established a theoretical foundation for the development of high-performance CF composites for use in high-temperature fields.

“…Further information on the microscopic chemical elements present on the fiber surface was obtained from the analysis of high‐resolution C1s, O1s, and Fe2p spectra, as depicted in Figure 4C–G. Comparing the three fitted C1s peaks of CC (284.8 eV), COC/CO (286.2 eV), and OCO (288.6 eV) for the untreated fibers (Figure 4C), 10 CF/TA/Fe/CNC/PVA exhibits enhanced peak areas at 284.8, 286.2, and 288.6 eV, corresponding to CC, COC/CO, and OCO, respectively (Figure 4D). These enhancements primarily arise from the presence of OH, COOH, and CO groups in TA, carboxylated CNC, and PVA, suggesting the successful assembly of TA/CNC/PVA on the fiber surface 29,30 .…”

The application of carbon fiber (CF) in carbon fiber composites has faced limitations due to its surface chemical inertness. To overcome this challenge, this study draws inspiration from metal ion‐enhancing exquisite hierarchical and multiphase structures observed in biological materials. The research proposes a novel approach to enhance the interfacial bonding of CF/Epoxy (E‐51) composites by utilizing tannic acid (TA), carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), Fe3+ ions, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This approach aims to create hydrogen bonding and metal synergistic networks on the surface of CFs through metal ion (Mn+) coordination cross‐linking synergistic (MCCS) interactions. Implementing MCCS strategy resulted in significant improvements in the mechanical properties of the hybrid reinforcements compared to untreated CF composites. The flexural strength, flexural modulus, interlaminar shear strength, and interfacial shear strength experienced respective increase of 50.9%, 72.8% 59.4%, and 61.9%. Moreover, the damping properties of the composites exhibited significant improvements. These positive outcomes can be attributed to the formation of chelation and dense hydrogen bonding networks between TA, Fe3+, CNC, and PVA. Furthermore, CNC and PVA formed cross‐linked nanolayers that effectively deflected cracks and facilitated high energy consumption at the interface. This proposed approach provides a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and efficient method for surface modification in the preparation of high‐performance fiber composites.Highlights Metal ion (Mn+) coordination cross‐linking synergistic strategy is proposed. Tannins/Fe3+/CNCs/PVA form multiphase nanolayers. Metal ion coordination cross‐linking enhances delicate multiphase structures. The prepared carbon fiber composites exhibit excellent properties. The as‐prepared carbon fiber composite has promising applications.

“…22 Thus, the surface properties of thermally conductive particles will be damaged and the intrinsic λ of the filler will be decreased, which restricts the improvement of λ of polymeric composites. In contrast, the noncovalent modification refers to the modification on the surface of the fillers through physical interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, π−π interaction, or electrostatic interaction, 23,24 which could not only improve the dispersion of the fillers in polymeric composites but could also preserve the surface properties of inorganic thermally conductive particles. Liu et al 23 coated the BN particle surface with polyetherimide (PEI) for improving the λ value of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK).…”

With the emergence of the 5G era, the highprecision operation of electronic devices usually results in high heat flux and increases the local heating power, seriously limiting their stability and service life. This paper presents a method for producing a thermally conductive filler by first noncovalently modifying silicon carbide (SiC) particle with poly(catechol/ polyamine) (PCPA) and then covalently functionalizing it with 3-mercapto-propylethoxy-bis(tridecyl-pentaethoxy-siloxane) (Si747), which is labeled as SiC-PCPA-Si747. Next, the prepared SiC-PCPA-Si747 filler is added to the natural rubber (NR) matrix for producing SiC-PCPA-Si747/NR composites with high thermal conductivity (λ). The noncovalent modification of PCPA preserves the intrinsic λ of SiC, while the covalent functionalization with Si747 enhances the interfacial interaction between the filler and NR matrix. As a result of the reduced interfacial thermal resistance and the formation of high-efficiency heat conduction channels, the NR composite filled with 50 vol % SiC-PCPA-Si747 filler shows a λ value of 0.4980 W/(m•K), which is about 475% higher than that of pure NR (0.0866 W/(m•K)). In short, this method is costeffective and feasible and can be used to fabricate polymeric composites with high λ that can meet the future demands of advanced electronic devices.
