Characterization of poly(butylene terephthalate) composites prepared by using various types of sized carbon fibers

This paper aims to study the effects of sizing on properties of differently sized carbon fiber (CF) reinforced poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) composites by comparing them to unsized CF reinforced composites. Contact angle analysis was used to evaluate the wettability of CFs and the work of adhes...
