Abstract
Ozone treatment of isotropic-pitch-based carbon fiber was found to increase the surface oxygen concentration and change surface oxygen from C–O to CO, thereby causing the contact angle between fiber and water to be decreased to zero. Thus, the bond strength between fiber and cement paste was increased and the tensile strength, modulus and ductility of carbon fiber reinforced cement paste were increased. Moreover, the degree of dispersion of fibers in mortar was increased and the effectiveness of the fibers for reducing the drying shrinkage was improved. As a consequence, the strain sensing ability of carbon fiber reinforced mortar was improved in terms of increased gage factor and better repeatability. The ozone treatment did not affect the morphology, tensile strength or volume electrical resistivity of the fiber itself.
