Abstract

In this study, an improved method is developed to test the compressive strength of single fibers. Two improvements were carried out compared with the previous work, and they were composed of: (1) a skillful device for preparing the compression sample with the advantage of greatly saving time and highly efficiency; (2) an improved system for directly testing the single fiber’s compressive strength with high accuracy and repeatability. More than fifteen qualified samples were successfully prepared within two hour compared with even only one sample in a day for the poor manipulation accuracy of previous work. Compressive strength of single fiber was tested based on four kinds of PAN-based carbon fibers. Experimental results from the new method show great agreement with the data published, which prove the designed method and improved device is more applicable for testing the compressive strength of single fiber in the optimization of cost and efficiency.
