AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, traditional epoxy resin sizing agents have poor structural compatibility with polyaryletherketone resins, resulting in incomplete wetting of carbon fibers and matrix resins, weak interfacial bonding, and easy thermal degradation of the sizing agent, which affects the performance of composite materials.
A water-based sizing agent is prepared by combining sulfonated polyarylene ethers with low glass transition temperatures and sulfonated polyarylene ethers with high glass transition temperatures. This forms hydrophilic microparticles that accumulate on the carbon fiber surface, providing different wetting behaviors, forming a mechanically interlocked structure, and enhancing interfacial bonding.
It improves the interfacial properties of carbon fiber and polyetheretherketone composites, ensures full wetting of the matrix resin, enhances the interlaminar shear strength and flexural strength of the composites, and also has good environmental friendliness and thermal stability.
