Abstract
The effect of surface treatment of carbon fibres with concentrated as well as dilute nitric acid on the mechanical properties of carbon fibres has been reported. The role of the fibre—matrix interface in carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin composites has been studied. Composites have been made both with untreated and surface treated carbon fibres and epoxy resin Araldite LY556 with different hardeners. Mechanical properties as well as fracture behaviour of these composites suggest that it is the physical interlocking between the fibres and the matrix, along with some chemical bonding between the two, and not the pure chemical bonding which yield better composites.
