Abstract
One of the main features for fibre reinforcement of a polymer matrix is found to be the improvement of interfacial adhesion. Therefore, a variety of surface treatments and coating techniques have been elaborated. For example oxidation of carbon fibre surfaces with gaseous or liquid oxidizing agents /1–2/ allows the activation of the surface by introduction of chemical groups containing oxygen. Such functional groups improve interfacial adhesion between the fibres and the matrix. But as a disadvantage of gaseous oxidation a substantial decrease of tensile strength due to damage of the fibre surface is known whereas wet oxidation results in treatment times of several hours.
