Problems solved by technology

However, the surface of carbon fiber is inert, the surface energy is low, and there are few functional groups with chemical activity, and polypropylene is a non-polar polymer, which leads to poor wettability between carbon fiber and polypropylene resin, and it is also difficult to form chemical bonds between the two.
