Summary: The effect of increasing content of maleic anhydride coupling agent and zinc-based thermal stabilizer on the fiber-matrix adhesion and thermal stability of glass fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites has been analyzed. The results show that 8% maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene enhances the interfacial shear strength between the fiber and matrix, while the addition of thermal stabilizer reduces the strength but greatly improves the oxidative resistance.

Summary: Unsized single-end rovings are pretreated and coated using plasma nanotechnology to optimize the interphase in composites. This allows for a variable shear strength range of 23.1 to 45.2 MPa, compared to the commercial sizing of 39.2 MPa, at reduced costs. The variability in shear strength is controlled by the adhesion of the interlayer due to the density of chemical bonds at the interlayer/glass interface. This technology can be used for continuous surface modification of rovings in commercial fiber-processing systems.

Summary: A new method of upcycling carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is proposed, using graphene supported on alumina fiber porous material (GPM) to generate plasma under microwave irradiation in a nitrogen atmosphere. This plasma can generate high temperature to pyrolyze the thermosetting polymer in CFRP into combustible gas and improve the graphitization degree of recycled carbon fiber (CF), resulting in T300 short-cut carbon fiber (SCF) with better properties than commercial T700 SCF when prepared composite.
