摘要

Abstract

In order to enhance the interfacial adhesion of carbon fiber (CF) and polymer matrix

a multiscale gradient modulus intermediate layer with rigid-flexible (GO-PA) hierarchical structure was designed and fabricated between CFs and matrix by a facile and businesslike strategy. The polarity

roughness and wettability of CFs surface as well as the thickness of intermediate layer in composite have been significantly increased after rigid-flexible hierarchical structure was constructed. The IFSS

ILSS

compression and impact toughness manifested that the hierarchical structure could bring about a fantastic improvement (76.8%

46.4%

40.7% and 37.8%) for the interfacial and mechanical properties than other previous reports. Consequently

the establishment of CF surface with gradient modulus rigid-flexible hierarchical structure

via

regulation of nanoparticles and polymer array would open a new

viable and promising route to obtaining high-performance composites.
