Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimal CFRP (Carbon Fibers Reinforced Polymer) structure with the most favourable mechanical and tribological properties for high-performance applications. The novelty of this work lies in the comprehensive analysis of the combined effect of adhesive film (AF) layers and additional annealing on the indentation hardness and sliding wear resistance of CFRP laminates. Although previous studies have investigated the tribological behaviour of CFRPs, our research uniquely evaluates how polymeric adhesive films, in conjunction with thermal treatment, influence structural integrity and wear resistance.
This study specifically examines the role of different AF layers in friction resistance and wear mechanisms, which are crucial for applications involving high-stress sliding contact. Furthermore, a novel approach is presented to assess the effect of post-curing at elevated temperatures (140 °C) on the mechanical properties of CFRPs, particularly hardness and elastic modulus, which are critical for structural applications. By systematically comparing different laminate configurations and their response to sliding friction, this research contributes to the development of more durable and wear-resistant CFRP-based components for the aerospace and automotive industries. The novelty of this work lies in the comprehensive analysis of the combined effect of adhesive film (AF) layers and additional annealing on the indentation hardness and sliding wear resistance of CFRP laminates.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development.
The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
