Effect of Cold Plasma Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of RTM Composites

摘要

Cold plasma technology was used to treat the surface of carbon fibers braided by PET in this paper and SEM wasused to analyze the fracture microstructure of composite interlaminar shear stress (ILSS). The result shows that thesurface polarity of carbon fibers was modified by cold plasma treatment, which increases the impregnation of PETbraided carbon fibers during the process of resin flowing, improves the interfacial properties of RTM composites, andtherefore enhances the mechanical properties of the KTM composites.
