Tailored glass fiber interphases via electrophoretic deposition of carbon nanotubes: Fiber and interphase characterization
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been used to deposit carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto glass fibers to strengthen the fiber/matrix interphase of glass/epoxy composites. CNTs were functionalized using an ultrasonicated-ozonolysis followed by polyethyleneimine (PEI) treatment, creating a stable, aqueous dispersion suitable for EPD. Single E-glass fiber filaments were successfully coated with the functionalized CNTs using EPD. Single fiber tensile and microdroplet debond tests were conducted to investigate the tensile properties of the CNT modified E-glass fibers and their interfacial structure and properties in an epoxy matrix, respectively. Weibull analysis of the fiber testing revealed no detrimental effects resulted from the CNT coating, with some evidence to suggest slightly improved strength. Microdroplet tests revealed changes in the fracture modes due to the application of the CNT coating. The interfacial shear-sliding shifted from the fiber/resin interface to the CNT/resin interphase for the CNT modified fibers. Higher effective interfacial shear strength corresponded to the results where fracture propagated deeper into the CNT-rich interphase layer, confirming the trends observed in previous model interphase studies.
