Strengthening of a Fibre-Matrix Interface: A Novel Method Using Nanoparticles

Strengthening of a Fibre-Matrix Interface: A Novel Method Using Nanoparticles

The surface of carbon fabric (CF) was treated with nanoparticles (NPs) of Ytterbium fluoride (YbF3) (40‐80nm size) in various amounts (0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5wt%) to improve its wettability with a Polyetherimide (PEI) matrix. The effect of treatment on the fibres of the CF was also studied by adhesion t...
