Carbon Fibers with Controlled Surface Chemistry

Abstract

Relatively little is known about the structure and properties of composite interphase regions or their affects on overall composite properties. The program objectives are to generate sets of carbon fibers with a range of controlled surface chemistries using glow discharge plasmas. Such treatments have been shown to produce a variety of surface functionalities that cannot be achieved with other methods. Acidic and basic surfaces will be created and characterized for chemistry, energy, and morphology compared to conventionally used treatments. Well characterized sets of fibers will be delivered to the Naval Air Warfare Center.
