The poor interfacial adhesion of aramid fiber and matrix limits the application of the final composites. In this study, a series of the sulfone-functionalized poly( p-phenylene terephthalamide) (SPPTA) copolymers were satisfactorily synthesized and the effects of polymerization conditions (contents of the additional monomer and the cosolvent LiCl, molar concentration and ratio of the monomer, reaction temperature and time) on the molecular weight of the copolymer were discussed. The introduction of the sulfone group in aromatic polyamides not only increased the polarity of poly( p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) but destroyed the regular arrangement of the molecular chains, which greatly improved the surface free energy and the solubility of the polymers in organic solvents. The polymer maintained excellent thermal and interfacial properties. Compared with the PPTA fiber/epoxy composites, the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of SPPTA fiber-reinforced epoxy composites reached 43.5 MPa, with a significantly enhancement of 20.8%, implying that the study provided an effective method to achieve highly interfacial adhesion of aramid fiber-reinforced composites.

AbstractThe microbond method has been applied with increased frequency to characterize interfacial adhesion in fiber reinforced composites. Nevertheless, a number of serious questions remain regarding the interpretation of experimental data. This paper addresses material and experimental variables in the microbond test procedure including the cure behavior of thermoset test specimens, matrix heterogeneity, locus of failure in test specimens and load application techniques. The theoretical basis for the method is examined by viewing experimental results in terms of existing theoretical interpretations of interfacial failure. Conclusions are presented regarding the limitations and the potential of the microbond method for determining fiber/matrix adhesive bond strength.

The interfacial properties between fibers and resin matrices show great influence on the properties of fiber-reinforced composites. In this work, phthalonitrile containing benzoxazine (BA-ph) was chosen as the resin matrix, which combined with the glass fiber (GF) to prepare reinforced composite laminates at low temperature (200 °C). The poly(arylene ether nitrile) (PEN) was used to modify the GF and BA-ph matrix. Curing behaviors of the BA-ph/PEN were investigated with Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and Dynamic rheological analysis (DRA), and results indicated that the polymerization would be hindered by PEN due to the dilution effects. Moreover, the formation of triazine rings which assigning to the ring-forming polymerization of nitrile groups in BA-ph and PEN could improve the compatibility of BA-ph and PEN in the matrix. The SEM images of the fracture surface of the composites revealed that the brittleness of BA-ph matrix and interfacial adhesion between GFs and matrix was improved. The enhanced interfacial adhesion was detailedly discussed from the perspective of physical entanglement and the copolymerization between PEN chains on the surface of GFs and BA-ph/PEN matrix. The results of DMA also explained the toughness of BA-ph/PEN matrix, the semi-interpenetrating polymer networks and the interfacial adhesion. In sum, a feasible strategy that modifies the surface of GFs and the brittleness of the thermosetting matrix by high-performance thermoplastic polymers, which can be employed to prepare the composite laminates with improved properties.
