Influence of multi gradient modulus interface layer constructed by flexible PI nanolayer modified carbon fiber surface on the mechanical properties of epoxy based composites by Tiantian Li, Ge Yu, Weipeng Huang, Yiling Chen, Yanchao Zhu, Ce Liang

“…Notably, the addition of a flexible PI nanolayer significantly reduces the brittleness of epoxy-based composites, promoting ductile fracture. The reduced contact angle of CFs in polar and non-polar solutions after modification indicates that polydopamine (PDA) and highly polar PI enhance chemical compatibility at the composite interface, increasing the overall surface energy of the CF. …”
