Thermal and mechanical properties of C/SiC composites fabricated by liquid silicon infiltration with nitric acid surface-treated carbon fibers

Spectroscopic analysis of chemically modified carbon fibres

“…acid. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Indeed, the literature on the effect of different chemicals on the morphological and structural characteristics of CF still demand further studies.…”

“…A particular chemical treatment depends on five primary factors: agent, concentration, pressure, temperature, and treatment time. [11][12][13][14][15][16] The ratio between mass of fibres and the amount of treating solution is also important. Variation in one of these parameters may result in a different outcome.…”

“…Variation in one of these parameters may result in a different outcome. The literature shows several studies considering the treatment time, [11][12][13][14][15][16] but few discuss the influence of the temperature or their combination, which was addressed in this paper. Indeed, the treatment of CFs is still a topic of research interest since their use has been continuously expanding to a variety of applications, where they are combined with different materials, such as thermoplastics, 13 metal/fibre hybrids, 11 and nanostructured interfaces.…”
