Abstract

Carbon fiber/epoxy composites (CF/EP) are significant components of engineering materials in defense, aerospace and transportation field. Nevertheless, one of the main obstacles to improve mechanical strength of CF/EP is delamination. In this study, a kind of hydroxyl-functionalized block co-polyimide (BOH) filming as interleaves achieved multi-scale synergistic toughening, including reaction-induced phase separation structures at nano-scale and plastic deformation of BOH enrichment at micro-scale, which aims to improve the interlaminar fracture toughness of CF/EP composites effectively. As a result, mode I interlaminar toughness at initial (G_IC-NL) and at propagation (G_IC-Prop) of CF/EP laminates interleaved with 7 μm BOH film (CF-EP/BOH7) are increased by 126 % and 183 %, respectively. CF-EP/BOH7 laminates exhibit improvement of 206 % in mode II interlaminar toughness. This multi-scale toughening method initiates a new way for improving the interlaminar toughness of CF/EP composites.

期刊介绍： Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
