Abstract

This invention discloses a high-strength carbon fiber modified plastic and its preparation method. By weight, it comprises the following raw materials: 90-100 parts polypropylene, 8-12 parts modified carbon fiber, 3-5 parts maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene, 2-4 parts toughening agent, 0.7-1.1 parts antioxidant, and 0.5-0.8 parts lubricant. This high-strength carbon fiber modified plastic achieves its goal by subjecting the carbon fiber surface to specific multi-step modification, sequentially introducing an aminosilane coupling layer, a gallic acid amide bond linking layer, and an itaconic acid active double bond functional layer. This forms an inside-out covalently bonded interface system, transforming the simple physical contact between the carbon fiber and the polypropylene matrix into a chemical bond. Furthermore, by combining maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene as an interface compatibilizer and ethylene-octene copolymer as a toughening agent, the formulation design ensures both high strength and material toughness, resulting in a high-strength carbon fiber modified polypropylene composite material with balanced mechanical properties.
