Abstract

In order to improve the interfacial properties in carbon fiber (CF) reinforced epoxy (EP) composites, we directly introduced amidized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in the fiber sizing onto the fiber surface. Morphology and surface energy of CFs were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic contact angle analysis test (DCAT). Tensile strength (TS) was investigated in accordance with ASTM standards. Mechanical properties of the composites were investigated by interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and impact toughness. Test results indicate that TS, ILSS and impact toughness were enhanced simultaneously.
