Abstract
Dual-activity silicone resins (DASR) with double bonds and epoxy groups were prepared via the hydrolysis and condensation of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-GPS) and γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS). The hydrolysis and condensation degree was monitored during the preparation process of DASR. The epoxy groups of DASR were directly reacted with amine groups on the fiber surface attempting to improve the interfacial properties of carbon fiber (CF) composites. The CF/DASR composites represented 36.91% and 20.85% enhancement in interfacial shear strength (IFSS), compared to those of MASR composites reinforced with untreated CF and amine modified CF. In addition, the tensile strength of CF/DASR remained stable after the UV irradiation. Thus, these attractive results demonstrate that the designed dual-activity silicone resin/carbon fiber composites provide a promising approach for preparing high-performance carbon fibers composites.
