Carbon fabric (CF) being inert towards the matrix, the quality of its adhesion with the matrix is poor and hence, needs treatment to enhance fiber-matrix bonding. In this paper, cold remote nitrogen oxygen plasma (CRNOP) treatment to CF was employed to improve fiber-matrix adhesion. Composites were developed using CF with polyethersulphone (PES) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) matrices. Performance enhancement due to CF treatment was quantified by improvement in mechanical and wear resistance (W-R) properties. A fairly good linearity was observed for specific wear rate (K-o x ILSS) as a function of a factor (mu/P/E). (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
