Effects of surface modification on mechanical properties and electromagnetic interference shielding properties of carbon fiber/silk fiber hybrid composites

AbstractIn this paper, a hybrid approach was employed by integrating a high‐modulus, high‐tensile‐strength carbon fiber fabric (CFF) with a low‐density, high‐toughness silk nonwoven fabric (SNWF) to fabricate CFF‐SNWF reinforced epoxy (CFF‐SNWF/EP) hybrid composites. Through the surface freeze‐induced self‐assembly process, the multiscale hybrid modified layers were successfully constructed on the surfaces of both CFF and SNWF. This novel approach effectively enhanced the interfacial strength of the hybrid fibers (HFs). Comparing the performance of the modified composites with unmodified CFF reinforced epoxy (CFF/EP), significant improvements in both tensile strength and interlaminar shear strength were observed. Specifically, the tensile strength and interlaminar shear strength of the modified composites reached 626.7 and 39.16 MPa, a rise scope of 17.1% and 14.8%, respectively. In addition, the hybrid fibers reinforced polymers (HFRPs) exhibited a superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capabilities. For insistence, the modified CFF/EP with a thickness of 2.0 mm showed an impressive EMI shielding effectiveness value of 50 dB. These findings underscore the promising application potential of CFF‐SNWF/EP hybrid composites, particularly in the field of consumer electronics.Highlights The surface of hybrid fiber was modified by PDA‐GO‐OCNTs‐WPU. Multi‐scale structure contributes a lot in composite performance. Hybrid effect before and after interfacial modification is performed. The hybrid interface modification and hybrid structure were analyzed.

Dipole-induced hydrogen bonds enhanced P/O co-doped Lyocell-based porous carbon fiber cloth for hydrogen storage under ambient pressure

Currently, the hydrogen storage application of carbon-based adsorbent materials is mostly implemented under the pressure conditions of 30–300 bar, while there is few targeted studies conducted on the unsaturated adsorption under ambient pressure conditions. Therefore, based on industrialized Lyocell biopolymer fiber precursors and the enhancement effects of dipole-induced hydrogen bonds (DIHB), this work presents a facile construction strategy for P/O co-doped Lyocell-based porous carbon fiber cloth (Ly-ACF-F40). By the technical route of thermal stabilization---sonication assisted phosphoric acid activation---hydrogen bonds introduced by interfacial fluorination, the constructed Ly-ACF-F40 acquires a high specific surface area (1870 m2/g) and total pore volume (1.277 cm3/g), and an excellent hydrogen storage capacity of 3.22 wt% under ambient pressure conditions (77 K, 1 bar). The study directly demonstrated in the experiment that dipole induced hydrogen bonding H(I)-H(II)···F can effectively enhance the atmospheric hydrogen storage density on the basis of other eliminating influencing factors of specific surface area. The simple construction strategy of porous carbon-based materials can provide reference for the research of unsaturated adsorption hydrogen storage materials under ambient pressure conditions, also assist in the application and promotion of low-cost solid hydrogen storage materials.

Nanomesh NiO-modified carbon cloth for highly efficient self-supporting potassium metal anodes

Potassium metal is one of the most promising anode materials for potassium-ion batteries owing to its low cost and ability to withstand high current density and relatively low operating potential. However, it is restricted from being used in practical implementations because of its high reactivity and disordered dendrite growth. To circumvent these issues, we stabilize potassium metal anodes by growing NiO with high potassium affinity and interconnected network porous structure on carbon cloth fibers (CC-NiO). A symmetric cell assembled from a composite material formed by infiltrating molten K into CC-NiO (K@CC-NiO) can cycle stably for 1840 h at a low overpotential of 33 mV. Furthermore, the first-cycle discharge capacities of the full batteries with carbon nanotubes-interwoven KFeSO4F microspheres (KFSF@CNTs) and perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) as the cathodes are 101.4 and 105.1 mAh g−1, respectively. The capacity retention of KFSF@CNTs||K@CC-NiO full battery after 1000 cycles is 79.3 %, and the capacity retention of PTCDA||K@CC-NiO full battery after 800 cycles is 70.2 %. The strategy of utilizing NiO as an efficient potassium metal nucleation anchor opens up a new direction for the development of high-energy and long-cycle-life potassium metal batteries.

Flexible SERS sensor based on the photodecoration of Au-NPs on Co3O4 NWs/carbon fiber cloth for the ultrasensitive detection of methylene blue in the curved fish surfaces

BackgroundDevelopment of flexible platform via the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique has gained enormous attention as a low-cost and portable substrate for a wide range application. In particular, the fabrication of semiconductors and tuning their surface morphologies with plasmonic nanoparticles are considered to be a fascinating strategy to create numerous hotspots to yield superior SERS enhancement. ResultsThis work involved fabricating a flexible SERS active substrate using the carbon fiber cloth (CFC), which is hydrothermally grown with cobalt oxide nanowires (Co3O4 NWs) and photodecorated with plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) for the ultrasensitive detection of organic dye, methylene blue (MB). The proposed substrate exhibits high enhancement factor (4.5 × 1010), low limit of detection (1.42 × 10−10 M), good uniformity (6.27 %), superior reproducibility (6.30 %) and demonstrate an excellent mechanical strength up to 40 cycles towards the MB detection. The residues of the MB are directly detected on the fish surfaces by adopting a facile swab-sampling technique. Additionally, the proposed flexible SERS sensor exhibit a successful photodegradation of MB at 90 min under UVC light irradiation. Significance and noveltyThe proposed flexible SERS methodology for detecting MB in the curved surfaces exhibited a superior SERS enhancement owing to the synergistic effect raised from the Co3O4 NWs (chemical enhancement) and Au NPs (electromagnetic enhancement). These findings indicate that the CFC-based flexible SERS sensor is a promising candidate for detecting various organic pollutants in real-time and on non-planar surfaces.

Studies toward Morphological Changes of Silver/Carbon Fiber Composites and Their Optimization for High-Performance Electrochemical Electrodes

The integration of micro/nanostructured metal/metal oxides with carbon-based materials has emerged as a promising approach for developing electrochemical electrodes. However, the fabrication of such hybrids entails complex and multistep procedures involving the grain boundaries and interfaces between the constituent materials, thus, degrading the overall performance. Herein, we report a facile electrothermal process (ETP) for the scalable fabrication of hybrid carbon fiber (CF) sheets integrated with tunable morphology of silver micro/nanoparticles. The application of an electric field across the layered film, consisting of AgNO3 and CF, enabled the rapid dissipation of thermochemical energy in an open-air environment via ETP. The ETP facilitated ultrafast heat dissipation within a few milliseconds, leading to the rapid decomposition of AgNO3, which resulted in the formation of liquefied Ag on the CF surface affording a reduced Ag-CF composite with adjustable structures through input power. The capability of ETP driven by controlling duration and number of electrical pulses was demonstrated by examining the corresponding physiochemical and electrochemical characteristics of the resulting composite. The Ag-CF composite fabricated using three cycles of a screened ETP pulse (1500 W and 75 ms for power and duration) acted as a supercapacitor electrode demonstrating excellent area capacitance (13 F/cm2) and exceptional capacitance retention (98% after 10,000 cycles). Thus, the utilization of ETP can provide manufacturing strategies enabling scalable synthesis of functional hybrids in vacuum-free ambient environments within milliseconds. These hybrids possess unique interfaces and particle boundaries, exhibiting considerable potential for diverse electrochemical applications.

Experimental Study on Repairing/Restoration and Reinforcement Methods of the Reinforced Concrete Structures Damaged by Earthquakes

For earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete structures, the static loading test method is adopted to carry out loading tests under cyclic loading on reinforced concrete beams with different reinforcement rates and columns with different axial compression ratios, and the effect of reinforcing and repairing the damaged reinforced concrete structure by using adhesive steel plates and carbon fiber cloth is investigated. Through comparative studies of structural hysteresis curves and skeleton curves under different reinforcement methods, it is concluded that reinforcement has significantly improved the hysteresis characteristics and ductility of members, and the seismic performance of the carbon fiber reinforcement method is better than that of the steel plate reinforcement. This study provides valuable references and suggestions for practical earthquake-damaged building reinforcement and repair works and seismic reinforcement works.

Comparison of current collector architectures for Flow-electrode Capacitive Deionization

Flow-electrode Capacitive Deionization (FCDI) is a relatively young technology that allows energy-efficient desalination and salt concentration. FCDI employs flow electrodes, suspensions of conductive particles capable of storing ions in the electric double layer at their surface upon charging. To facilitate charging, the flow electrode particles must be electrically contacted using current collectors. Current collectors must guide the flow electrode along a membrane surface, provide a surface area for electrical contact with the particles, and be inert at high salt concentrations. In this study, we compare different current collector architectures for FCDI. Graphite plates and membrane-electrode assemblies made of carbon fiber fabric are two architectures described in the recent literature. We introduce a new current collector architecture based on a bipolar plate made of expanded graphite. These novel current collectors show up to 55 % higher salt transfer than graphite plates, rendering them a valuable new architecture for FCDI modules. Comparative analysis of different current collector architectures shows that the side walls of a flow channel are more effective at charge transport than the bottom wall. Furthermore, surface roughness impacts charge transport, with smoother surfaces leading to higher salt removal rates.

Biphasic Calcium Phosphate and Activated Carbon Microparticles in a Plasma Clot for Bone Reconstruction and In Situ Drug Delivery: A Feasibility Study.

The development of bone-filling biomaterials capable of delivering in situ bone growth promoters or therapeutic agents is a key area of research. We previously developed a biomaterial constituting biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) microparticles embedded in an autologous blood or plasma clot, which induced bone-like tissue formation in ectopic sites and mature bone formation in orthotopic sites, in small and large animals. More recently, we showed that activated carbon (AC) fiber cloth is a biocompatible material that can be used, due to its multiscale porosity, as therapeutic drug delivery system. The present work aimed first to assess the feasibility of preparing calibrated AC microparticles, and second to investigate the properties of a BCP/AC microparticle combination embedded in a plasma clot. We show here, for the first time, after subcutaneous (SC) implantation in mice, that the addition of AC microparticles to a BCP/plasma clot does not impair bone-like tissue formation and has a beneficial effect on the vascularization of the newly formed tissue. Our results also confirm, in this SC model, the ability of AC in particle form to adsorb and deliver large molecules at an implantation site. Altogether, these results demonstrate the feasibility of using this BCP/AC/plasma clot composite for bone reconstruction and drug delivery.

Upcycling of Carbon Fiber/Thermoset Composites into High‐Performance Elastomers and Repurposed Carbon Fibers

AbstractRecycling of carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (CFRCs) based on thermosetting plastics is difficult. In the present study, high‐performance CFRCs are fabricated through complexation of aromatic pinacol‐cross‐linked polyurethane (PU−AP) thermosets with carbon fiber (CF) cloths. PU−AP thermosets exhibit a breaking strength of 95.5 MPa and toughness of 473.6 MJ m−3 and contain abundant hydrogen‐bonding groups, which can have strong adhesion with CFs. Because of the high interfacial adhesion between CF cloths and PU−AP thermosets and high toughness of PU−AP thermosets, CF/PU−AP composites possess a high tensile strength of >870 MPa. Upon heating in N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc) at 100 °C, the aromatic pinacols in the CF/PU−AP composites can be cleaved, generating non‐destructive CF cloths and linear polymers that can be converted to high‐performance elastomers. The elastomers are mechanically robust, healable, reprocessable, and damage‐resistant with an extremely high tensile strength of 74.2 MPa and fracture energy of 149.6 kJ m−2. As a result, dissociation of CF/PU−AP composites enables the recovery of reusable CF cloths and high‐performance elastomers, thus realizing the upcycling of CF/PU−AP composites.

Self-healable PVA-Borax-K2SO4 hydrogel electrolyte for flexible symmetric supercapacitors

The self-healing hydrogel materials are formed from the reaction between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium tetraborate (Borax). The O-B-C vibration peak from the FT-IR spectrum is used to confirm the formation of the self-healing hydrogel structure. With 0.5 M concentration K2SO4, the resistivity of PVA-Borax-K2SO4 material is evaluated by Bode cure and obtained at 4.13 Ω.cm. With the improvement in hybrid structure, the flexible supercapacitor (FSS) devices were fabricated from two carbon fiber fabrics as symmetric electrodes with a self-healing hydrogel material (PVA-Borax-K2SO4) as electrolyte and separator. The electrochemical performances of flexible symmetric supercapacitor (FSS) devices are measured by cyclic voltammetric, charge/discharge, and impedance tests. The specific capacitance of FSS obtained 1.725 mF/cm2 at 0.05 mA/cm2 discharge current. Moreover, the stability of the FSS device attained confirmation by the comparison of the specific capacitance at 2 and 50 cycles.

Analyzing the Tensile Strength of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Composites Using LabVIEW Virtual Instrument

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites are widely used materials in the aircraft industry, automotive sector, marine applications, civil engineering, and daily consumer goods, due to their superior mechanical properties at a relatively low density compared to metallic materials. The studied composites are composed of an epoxy resin matrix in which three layers of carbon fiber fabric are embedded, oriented at 0 and 90 degrees. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites were manufactured using the Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding technique. The tensile failure mechanism in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites is an extremely complex phenomenon influenced by numerous factors. This study aims to evaluate the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced composites through tensile testing and to compare experimentally obtained results with those calculated using the mixture rule. Additionally, the behavior of the materials under tensile stress was analyzed using the digital image correlation method. Estimating mechanical properties based on the mixture rule is a common practice in the design phase of polymer composites. This study s novelty and originality lie in its anticipation of the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of the studied composites. This anticipation was achieved using a virtual instrument developed in the LabVIEW graphical programming environment. The experimentally obtained results for the tensile characteristics of the studied materials are suitable for this type of composite. These results were compared with estimates derived from the mixture rule, and the absolute error was determined.

Development of high‐strength carbon fiber/thermoplastic epoxy resin composites and it's recyclability

AbstractThe realization of the recycling of epoxy resin composites has important practical significance for “carbon peak, carbon neutrality” and resource conservation, and recycling. In this study, high‐strength carbon fiber fabric reinforced thermoplastic epoxy (TPE) composites (CFF/TPE) were successfully fabricated by a laminated hot‐pressing process, and both CFF and TPE were efficiently recycled via an ultrasonication‐assisted solvent method. The CFF/TPE composites present mechanical properties (tensile strength: 705 MPa, flexural strength: 711 MPa) by optimizing the process parameters, which are comparable to those of carbon fiber reinforced thermosetting epoxy. Moreover, the tensile strength retention rates of recycled CFF and TPE are 92% and 89%, respectively. The recycled CFF can be completely reprocessed through the same hot‐pressing process, and the recycled CFF/TPE composite exhibited high efficiency reuse and excellent mechanical properties (high strength of reaching 94% of CFF/TPE). This approach provides a new strategy for the facile production of high‐performance carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites with high efficiency recycling.Highlights Recyclable carbon fiber fabric reinforced thermoplastic epoxy composites (CFF/TPE) are fabricated by a laminated hot‐pressing process.

Carbon fiber reinforced liquid crystalline elastomer composites: a dual exploration in strength augmentation and transformation flexibility through 4D printing

ABSTRACT Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are renowned for their reversible deformation capabilities. Yet, enhancing their mechanical strength while retaining such flexibility has posed a considerable challenge. To overcome this, we utilized 4D printing to develop an innovative composite of LCE with carbon fiber fabric (LCEC). This approach has notably increased the tensile strength of LCE by eightfold, all the while maintaining its exceptional capacity for reversible deformation. By adjusting the alignment angle between carbon fiber and the LCE printing direction from 0° to 90°, the LCEC demonstrates an array of new deformation patterns, including bending, twisting, wrapping, and S-shaped transformations, which are distinct from pure LCE materials. Our study unveils that LCE composites exhibit deformation processes markedly different from their pure material counterparts, with the ability of pure LCE to sustain tensile strains exceeding 1900%. These findings, previously undocumented and unexplored, represent a substantial contribution to the field of smart materials. Employing finite element analysis, we explored the carbon fiber and LCE matrix dynamics, revealing bending mechanics in LCECs. This combined experimental and simulation approach yields crucial insights for crafting durable, high-strength LCECs with diverse deformational properties, advancing smart material technology.

Herein, we report fabrication of a new electrode material based on copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) nanoparticles coated on flexible and light weight carbon fiber cloth (CuHCF-NPs@CC) for supercapacitors application. Uniform spherical CuHCF-NPs are successfully synthesized through a simple chemical co-precipitation technique at ambient temperature. The CuHCF-NPs were physically examined by different characterizations, for example, FT-IR, UV–Visible, Raman, XRD, XPS, FE-SEM, EDAX and TEM. The CuHCF-NPs@CC is an excellent electrode material that has an open framework structure that can accommodate a wide variety of ions. The electrochemical characteristics of pseudocapacitive behavior of the material were characterized by cyclic voltammogram (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on two different electrolytes such as K2SO4 and Na2SO4. The CuHCF-NPs@CC exhibits a good reversible cycle in the range of 0 to 0.9 V and excellent charge-discharge performance with a specific capacity of 42.96C g−1 and 24.2C g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 of current density in K2SO4 and Na2SO4 electrolyte, respectively. The low cost, simple preparation methodology, and an outstanding electrochemical behavior of CuHCF-NPs@CC considering a viable candidate for the future energy storage system.

Bending performance of prefabricated ultra-thin UHPC unit plate reinforced orthotropic steel bridge decks

To address the challenges related to lengthy construction period, complex maintenance requirement, and the elevated risk of shrinkage cracking associated with cast-in-place UHPC reinforcement of orthotropic steel bridge decks. This paper proposes a novel solution that prefabricated ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) slab with epoxy bond connection is used as a reinforcement layer for orthotropic steel bridge decks. Four sets of bending tests on composite bridge deck were carried out to compare the flexural performance of composite bridge decks under different joint forms and loading patterns. The results indicate that the precast UHPC decks delaminated from the epoxy bonding layer without failure of the epoxy layer itself in all cases. The positive bending capacity of the jointless composite bridge deck is approximately 27.67 kN, while the negative bending capacity is around 16.58 kN. For the composite bridge deckwith epoxy adhesive joints (EA-J-Ln), the negative bending capacity is 2.54 kN, and the negative bending capacity of the joint area reinforced with carbon fiber cloth (EA-JC-Ln) is increased to 4.17 kN. Therefore, the use of carbon fiber cloth can significantly improve the bending resistance of the joints. Finally, numerical model of the composite deck based on Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) was established, validating the applicability of this simulation method in the novel composite bridge deck.

Greenly building strong interactions between epoxy and carbon fiber fabric via vapor assisted ozone

AbstractTo enhance the performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), it is crucial to establish robust interactions between epoxy and carbon fiber fabric (CFF). Herein, CFF was treated by an optimized H2O2/H2O/O3 oxidation method. The chemical and physical properties of the treated CFFs were meticulously characterized. For comparison, CFF, O3 treated CFF, and H2O/O3 treated CFFs were also examined. It was found that H2O2/H2O/O3 oxidized CFF more effectively than either O3 or H2O/O3. Reactive O groups were extensively grafted onto the surface of the H2O2/H2O/O3 oxidized CFF, leading to an increase in surface energy. Additionally, numerous defects were introduced on the surface of the H2O2/H2O/O3 oxidized CFF, significantly enhancing its surface roughness. Consequently, the interlaminar shear strength of H2O2/H2O/O3 oxidized CFF reinforced epoxy composite reached 63.31 ± 2.50 MPa, which is 43.3% higher than that of CFF reinforced epoxy composite. The fracture surface morphology and differential scanning calorimetry studies confirmed the presence of strong interfacial chemical interactions, while the increased surface roughness ensured robust interfacial physical interactions. Based on these findings, the mechanisms of the H2O2/H2O/O3 oxidized CFF reinforcing epoxy were proposed. The present work aims to give out some ideas for the fabrication of green and advanced CFRP.Highlights CFF was effectively oxidized by an optimized H2O2/H2O/O3 method eco‐friendly. Improved the interlaminar shear strength of the epoxy composite by 43.3%. Both the strong interfacial chemical and physical interactions were confirmed. The reinforcing mechanism is attributed to the robust interactions.

Incorporation of Graphene Nanoplatelets into Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites in the Presence of Highly Branched Waterborne Polyurethanes.

Enhancing interfacial interactions in fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) is crucial for improving their mechanical properties. This can be achieved through the incorporation of nanomaterials or chemically functional agents into FRPCs. This study reports the tailoring of the fiber-matrix interface in FRPCs using non-functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) in combination with a waterborne, highly branched, multi-functional polyurethane dispersion (HBPUD). A unique ultrasonic spray deposition technique was utilized to deposit aqueous mixtures of GNP/HBPUDs onto the surfaces of carbon fiber fabrics, which were used to prepare epoxy-prepreg sheets and corresponding FRPC laminates. The influence of the polyurethane (PU) and GNP content and their ratio at the fiber-matrix interface on the tensile properties of resulting high-performance composites was systematically investigated using stress-strain analysis of the produced FRPC plates and SEM analysis of their fractured surfaces. A synergistic stiffening and toughening effect was observed when as low as 20 to 30 mg of GNPs was deposited per square meter of each side of the carbon fiber fabrics in the presence of the multi-functional PU layer. This resulted in a significant improvement in the tensile strength from 908 to 1022 MPa, while maintaining or slightly improving the initial Young's modulus from approximately 63 to 66 MPa.
