Abstract  

The surface of carbon fibers was firstly modified with a new water borne sizing agent O3PPA, and then composites of the modified carbon fibers/ polycaprolactam resin were prepared with polycaprolactam resin as matrix. The above prepared products were characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fiber strength extensometer and universal material testing machine. The results show that the optimum mass fraction and adsorption capacity of O3PPA were 1% and 5mg·g-1 respectively. The fracture strength of the O3PPA modified carbon fiber monofilament increased by 12% and the dispersibility of short carbon fibers in polycaprolactam resin was significantly improved. Furthermore, the flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength of the modified carbon fibers/polycaprolactam resin composite increased by 35% and 46% respectively compared with those of plain carbon fibers/polycaprolactam resin composite.
