The Effect of Sizing Additives for Carbon Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of Polyetherimide Composites
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: The article presents the results of sizing of discrete carbon fibers with various substances and their effect on the properties of polyetherimide composites. As sizing agents, 1,3-diaminobenzene, 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2-diphenylpropane, polyetherimide and oligoetherether sulfone were used. The study of physical and mechanical properties showed that all the substances used increase the properties of the carbon-filled composite based on polyetherimide. The highest mechanical properties are demonstrated by a composite containing carbon fibers treated with 1,3-diaminobenzene, which indicates improved compatibility of the filler and the polymer matrix and enhanced intermolecular interactions.
