Improvement of Interlaminar Shear Strength in Organic Matrix Composites Utilizing Plasma Deposited Coupling Agents

Abstract

The experimental work has been concerned primarily with cleaning and coupling agent experiments at 2450 MHz and 450 KHz utilizing Thornel 50 graphite fiber. An excellent cleaning technique has been developed for Thornel 50 fiber at 2450 MHz which has the advantage over other processes of increasing rather than decreasing the apparent tensile strength. Extensive coupling agent experiments were performed with ethanolamine and acetylene. (P.S.-PL)
