Abstract
There is great potential for carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastics in the areas of national defence, aerospace, and high-end civilian goods due to their exceptional qualities, including low weight, high strength, high modulus, and high temperature resistance. To address the demands of more areas for high-performance thermoplastics, researchers have used a variety of techniques to modify CF to raise its surface activity, roughness, and wettability; this improves the mechanical properties by strengthening the interfacial adhesion between the fibre and matrix. This review summarises the impacts of carbon fibre surface modification on the mechanical, tribological, and adhesive behaviour of high-performance thermoplastics, and future outlook in this area of investigation.
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.
