Abstract

In this work, the effect of anodic oxidation on surface characteristics of high strength PAN-based carbon fibers was investigated in mechanical interfacial properties of composites. The surface properties of the carbon fibers were determined by acid-base values, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angles. And their mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were studied in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$). As a result, the acidity or the $O_{ls}/C_{ls}$ ratio of carbon fiber surfaces was increased, due to the development of the oxygen functional groups. Consequently, the anodic oxidation led to an increase in surface free energy of the carbon fibers, mainly due to the increase of its specific (or polar) component. The mechanical interfacial properties of the composites, including ILSS and $K_{IC}$, had been improved in the anodic oxidation on fibers. These results were explained that good wetting played an important role in improving the degree of adhesion at interfaces between fibers and epoxy resin matrix.

본 연구에서는 양극산화 처리에 따른 고강도 PAN계 탄소섬유의 표면 특성 변화가 기계적 계면 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 탄소섬유의 표면성질은 산.염기도, SEM, XPS, 그리고 접촉각 측정을 통하여 알아보았으며, 복합재료의 기계적 계면 특성은 ILSS와 $K_{IC}$를 통하여 고찰하였다. 탄소섬유 표면의 산도와 $O_{ls}/C_{IC}$가 증가하였는데, 이는 산소관능기의 발달에 기인하고, 양극산화된 탄소섬유의 표면자유에너지의 증가는 극성요소의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. ILSS와 $K_{IC}$ 같은 기계적 계면 성질은 양극산화로 향상되어졌는데, 이러한 결과는 좋은 젖음성이 최종 복합재료의 섬유와 에폭시 수지 매트릭스 사이의 계면결합력을 증가시기는 중요한 역할을 하기 때문으로 사료된다.
