Simulation, fabrication, and characterization of benzoxazine-grafted carbon fibers for improved interfacial shear strength
Abstract
Benzoxazine polymers are an outstanding matrix for aerospace composite due to their high performance, low shrinkage, and low conductivity. Nevertheless, they remain a challenging polymer to reinforce with carbon fibers to maximize their strength-to-weight ratio. This project will investigate surface chemistries that are complementary to the carbon fiber-matrix interface. The outcomes of this project will be knowledge generation around the fundamental interactions governing macroscopic performance in composite materials. Such knowledge will enhance the design, manufacture, and deployment of new structures using a wider array of polymers and fibers.
