Abstract
In order to clarify the effects of carbon fiber size on the properties of carbon fiber/high strength glass fabric (HSGF)/phenolic laminate, two kinds of laminates modified by nano-sized carbon fibers (CNFs) and micro-sized carbon fibers (CMFs), were respectively fabricated. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and tribological properties of HSGF/phenolic laminates modified by CNFs and CMFs in water environment were comparatively investigated. Results showed that CNFs at proper contents ranging from 1.0% to 3.0% can enhance ILSS of HSGF/phenolic laminate, while CMFs deteriorated the ILSS. After water immersion, ILSS of the laminates modified by CNFs at 1.0–3.0% were just slightly decreased; however, those of the laminates modified by CMFs suffered larger drop. On the other hand, however, CMFs were more effective than CNFs in improving the wear resistance of HSGF/phenolic laminate in water.
