Abstract

In order to control the interfacial adhesion between carbon fibers and thermoplastic resins, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles have been adsorbed on the carbon fiber surfaces using an electrophoresis process. The amount of PMMA particles adsorbed on the modified carbon fibers was varied using the electrophoresis technique performed in polymer colloids for a short time. Additionally, the interfacial shear strength between the modified carbon fiber and the resin was controlled by a modification of the present process. An improved interaction and a strengthened surface adhesion between the carbon fiber coated with particles and the PMMA resin were observed.
