The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a water-soluble carbon
fiber sizing agent. The water-soluble carbon
fiber sizing agent is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 5-45 parts of a water-
soluble polymer, 0.01-1.2 parts of a dispersing agent, 0.08-2 parts of an emulsifying agent, and 62-95 parts of a
solvent, wherein the water-
soluble polymer is characterized in that a large number of active functional groups exist in molecules. The preparation method comprises the following steps: under temperature of 60-100 DEG C, adding the water-
soluble polymer into the
solvent, stirring so that the water-soluble
polymer can be completely dissolved, adjusting to the proper temperature, adding the dispersing agent and the emulsifying agent into the solution, stirring for dissolving to obtain an integrated solution which is the water-soluble carbon
fiber sizing agent. According to the invention, all the raw materials are non-toxic and easily available, are convenient for pulp mixing and sizing, and have good protection effect on
carbon fibers; after the
carbon fibers are treated by adopting the water-soluble carbon fiber sizing agent, the surfaces of the
carbon fibers contain a large number of hydrophilic functional groups, so that the
hydrophily and the dispersibility of the surfaces of the carbon fibers can be effectively improved, the carbon fibers can be well adapted to
water treatment and other aspects having requirements for good dispersibility of the carbon fibers.
