Surface Characteristics of Single Sisal Fiber and Interfacial Adhesion of Composites
Abstract:
Surface characteristics including surface morphology and chemical composition of single sisal fiber and their influences on the interfacial adhesion of sisal fiber/phenolic resin composites were investigated by SEM, AFM, and XPS. The results showed that the surface of the untreated single sisal fiber contained a large amount of lignin (up to 51%). Chlorine dioxide treatment could reduce the surface lignin to a low content (20%). Removal of lignin from fiber surface could enhance the interfacial strength of sisal fiber/phenolic resin composites, giving rise to an increase by 36% in tensile strength. These results indicate that the surface properties of single sisal fiber can be tailored to improve the fiber/resin interfacial adhesion.
