Abstract

Five carbon fibers from different precursors were surface treated by various chemical reagents for the elucidation of the mechanism involved in interfacial adhesion. SEM, ESCA and SAM techniques were used to characterize morphology as well as surface constituents of the treated fibers. The transverse tensile strengths of the composites made from the treated fibers and epoxy resin were also obtained. The result indicated that the interlocking mechanism by surface roughness seemed to play a major role in the fiber-epoxy adhesion.
