In recent years, carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTP) are expected to be used as lightweight structural materials for mass-produced vehicles. CFRTP with thermoplastics as matrix allows us to weld them using melting of matrix by heating. We have been developing a direct resistance heating method, which uses carbon fibres as the resistance heating element. Carbon nanotube (CNT) is expected to be used as additive to FRP and we reported that the fibre/matrix interfacial shear strength was improved by grafting CNT on the surface of carbon fibres and tensile lap-shear strength was improved by using CNT grafted carbon fibre as the heating element for welding. For the practical use of CFRTP for structural parts, flexural strength is also necessary to be evaluated. In this study, flexural test was carried out to clarify the effect of CNT deposition time to the surface of carbon fibres on flexural strength of resistance welded CFRTP using CNT grafted carbon fibre as the heating element. The highest flexural strength was obtained when CNT10, for which CNT is grafted on the carbon fibres for deposition time of 10 min, was used for the heating element of resistance welding. In the case of CNT deposition time of 60 min, the lowest flexural strength was obtained because of the poor impregnation of the resin into the carbon fibre due to the excess CNT on the carbon fibres.

This study evaluates the effects of freeze/thaw cycles on the mechanical performance and failure mode of resistance-welded carbon fibre/polyphenylene sulphide composite joints. Dry and moisture-saturated joints are subjected to 1000 temperature cycles varying between –40°C and 82°C. A silane coating is applied on the stainless steel mesh heating element to improve its adhesion with the polyphenylene sulphide polymer. Results show the limited impact that freeze/thaw cycles have on the lap shear strength of joints welded without any coating on the heating element. The silane coating improves the lap shear strength by 32% when no freeze/thaw cycles are applied to the joints. This improvement of 32% reduces when joints are subjected to freeze/thaw cycles but the mechanical performance remains superior to that of joints welded using uncoated heating element. Fracture surfaces show that fibre/matrix and stainless steel/matrix interfaces are both affected by the environmental conditions although it does not translate into lower lap shear strength.

Polypyrrole (PPy) was deposited on carbon fibres via the oxidation-polymerization of pyrrole (Py) with ferric ions. These PPy-deposited carbon fibres were then made into composite boards with epoxy resin. The interfacial bonding between carbon fibre and epoxy resin was evaluated by measuring the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), tensile strength before and after impact (TAI), and flexural strength. Experimental results show that deposition of PPy can improve the ILSS, tensile strength, and flexural strength. Furthermore, TAI is also reduced by the deposition of PPy. The interfacial bonding was the highest when the carbon fibre was immersed in 20 wt% FeCl3(aq) and then reacted with 0.5 M Py in acetonitrile for 20 min.
