Abstract
Carbon fibres are generally used in composites in which they act as the reinforcing material. When the composite is submitted to a mechanical loading the stress transfer from one fibre to the other occurs via the matrix. In particular the mechanical behaviour of the fibre-matrix interface is critical for the use of composite. Yet the carbon fibres reinforced polymers have usually low interlaminar shear strength and in this prespect their development was subjected to the improvement of their interfacial properties. The poor shear strength of carbon fibres reinforced composite is attributed to a “lack of bonding” between matrix and filaments. As a result, detailed characterization of carbon fibre surface have been carried out in order to investigate possible routes for improving and optimizing the interfacial interactions in composites.
