Abstract
The work presented is concerned with materials research on graphite fiberreinforced composites. Graphite fiber surfaces were characterized by gasphase and solution adsorption experiments and by Raman spectroscopy. Thefabrication of 6Thornel6 fiber, polyamide-imide and polysulfone composites wasinvestigated. Fabrication of polyamide-imide composites was very tedious andevaluation was limited to determinations of torsion shear strength. Severalplates of polysulfone matrix composites were fabricated. The epitaxialcrystallization of nylon monomer on graphite fiber surfaces has beeninvestigated. Graphite fiber, nickel matrix composites were characterizedat room and at elevated temperatures. Measurements of Young's moduli, tensilestrength, stress rupture, thermal expansion, and thermal fatigue are presented.
