Abstract
In this paper, mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) coating assisted with plasma treatment is employed to modify aramid fiber surface, and then graphene oxide (GO) is successfully deposited to construct multiscale interface and introduce charge traps, aiming at enhancing dielectric properties of aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP) composites. The results show that the incorporation of GO fillers significantly improves the charge trapping capability due to their large specific surface area and nano-effect. Consequently, the dielectric properties of AFRPs are enhanced, with DC conductivity decreasing by 81.31%, partial discharge inception voltage and breakdown strength increasing by 15.18% and 30.60%, respectively. Meanwhile, the interfacial shear strength and interlaminar shear strength increase by 136.43% and 55.71%, respectively, due to the enhancement of roughness and mechanical interlocking between the fibers and epoxy resin. Furthermore, the construction of interface charge traps maintains effectiveness even after mechanical impact, showing great potential for applications in HV power equipment subjected to both HV and dynamic mechanical loads.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
