Abstract
In the adhesion of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), the boundary regions were composed of only epoxy resins of CFRP matrix and adhesives, and their similar epoxy structures pose significant difficulty in studying the adhesion mechanism. Herein, we focused on structure and properties of laminates of epoxy resin substrates and adhesives with different curing conditions of substrates. We prepared laminates using deuterated epoxy adhesives or fluorinated epoxy adhesives, and their boundary regions were identified through confocal Raman scattering measurements. The regions were distributed into “penetration” and “interphase”. In particular, the penetration phase is a key of the adhesion properties. The penetration behaviors strongly depended on the crosslinking densities of the adherends, suggesting that the penetration regions would be directly impacted by the curing conditions of the substrates and molecular size of epoxy adhesive precursors. Our findings provide insights into novel designs of the reliable adhesion-based manufacturing systems of CFRP.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
