Enhanced interlaminar fracture toughness of CFRP using UHMWPE fiber veils modified with polydopamine and graphene oxide
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are prone to delamination due to their inherently low interlaminar fracture toughness. This study, for the first time, investigates the use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber (PE) veils to enhance the interlaminar fracture toughness of CFRP and explores the influence of polydopamine (PDA) and graphene oxide (GO) on their toughening efficacy. PE, PDA-modified PE (PPE), and GO/PDA-modified PE (GPPE) veils with an areal density of 10 g/m2 were fabricated using a wet-laying technique and subsequently introduced as interlayers in unidirectional CFRP laminates via a prepreg hot-pressing process. Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness (GIc and GIIc) of the CFRPs were evaluated using double cantilever beam and end-notched flexure tests, respectively. The results demonstrated that while all three PE veils improved the interlaminar fracture toughness compared to the pristine CFRP laminates without interlayers, the incorporation of the GPPE veil yielded the largest increase in GIc and GIIc by 90.7 % and 69.8 %, respectively. Analysis of the toughening mechanisms revealed that PDA modification improved the interfacial adhesion between the PE fibers and the epoxy matrix, promoting fiber bridging and pull-out. The introduction of GO further contributed to the toughness through additional nanoscale mechanisms such as crack deflection and pinning, exhibiting a synergistic effect with PDA. This research presents an effective strategy for developing high-toughness CFRPs.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
