This study examined the influence mechanism of temperature on the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between carbon fiber (CF) and epoxy resin (EP) matrices under various thermal loads using experimental and numerical simulation methods. To evaluate the change in IFSS as a function of the increase in temperature, a microbond test was performed under controlled temperature environment from 23°C to 150°C. The experimental results showed that IFSS values of CF/EP reduce significantly when the temperature reaches near glass transition temperature. To interpret the effect of thermal loads on IFSS, a thermal-mechanical coupling finite element model was used to simulate the process of fiber pull-out from EP. The results revealed that temperature dependence of IFSS is linked to modulus of the matrix as well as to the coefficients of thermal expansion of the fiber and matrix.

In this article, the potassium permanganate solutions (KMnO4) was used to treat the PPTA fiber based on an orthogonal experimental design. The optimum conditions of KMnO4treatment were concentration of 20%, temperature of 30°C and treating time of 20min. The interfacial properties of aramid fiber/epoxy composites were investigated by the single fiber pull-out test (SFP), and the results showed that the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of aramid/epoxy composites was remarkbly improved.
