Effect of Carbon Milled Fiber Addition on Interlaminar Fracture Toughness of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, effect of Carbon Milled Fiber (CMF) addition on interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) was investigated. Plain woven carbon fiber was used as reinforcement. Epoxy resin was used as matrix. The addition amounts of CMF are 0.5wt%, 0.8wt%, 1.0wt% and 1.2wt% for the epoxy resin. Mode I and mode II interlaminar fracture toughness tests were conducted based on JIS K 7086. As a result, mode I and mode II interlaminar fracture toughness increased with an increase of addictive amount of CMF. But excess addition was not effective. Pull out of CMF in matrix was found after mode I and mode II interlaminar fracture toughness tests. The mode I and mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of CMF added CFRP can be improved by fiber bridging of CMF.
