The influence of coupling agent, fibre sizing and matrix degradation on the interfacial shear strength between carbon fibre and polypropylene (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Burn, D., Harper, L., Johnson, M., Warrior, N., Yang, L., & Thomason, J. (2014, June). The influence of coupling agent, fibre sizing and matrix degradation on the interfacial shear strength between carbon fibre and polypropylene. Paper presented at 16th European Conference on Composite Materials

The interface strength between carbon fibre (CF) and polypropylene (PP) was characterised using the microbond test. The effect of removing the sizing from the fibres, as well as introducing a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) coupling age...
