RETRACTED ARTICLE: Surface modification of aramid fibers with novel chemical approach

Friedel–Crafts Reaction as a simple and convenient approach to the surface modification of aramid fiber was introduced in this paper. Epoxy chloropropane was chosen as the treatment reagent to modify aramid fibers surface via Graft reaction. After the modification, the interfacial properties of aramid/epoxy composites were investigated by the single fiber pull-out test (SFP), and the mechanical properties of aramid fibers were investigated by the tensile strength test. The results showed that the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) value of aramid/epoxy composites was enhanced by about 50%, and the tensile strength of aramid fibers had no obvious damage. The crystalline state of aramid fibers was determined by X-ray diffraction instrument (XRD), and the results showed that there were not any distinct crystal type varieties. The surface elements of aramid fibers were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the analysis of which showed that the oxygen/carbon ratio of aramid fiber surface increased obviously. The possible changes of the chemical structure of aramid fibers were investigated via Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), and the analysis of which showed that the epoxy functional groups were grafted into the molecule structure of aramid fibers. The surface morphology of aramid fibers was analyzed by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the SEM results showed that the physical structure of aramid fibers was not etched or damaged obviously. The surface energy of aramid fibers was investigated via the dynamic capillary method, and the results showed that the surface energy was enhanced by 31.5%, and then the wettability degree of aramid fiber surface was enhanced obviously too. All of the results indicated that this novel chemical modification approach not only can improve the interfacial bonding strength of aramid/epoxy composites remarkably, but also have no negative influence on the intrinsic tensile strength of aramid fibers.     

Surface modification of aramid fibers with CaCl2 treatment and secondary functionalization of silane coupling agents

Aramid fibers have excellent mechanical properties as the main reinforcing filler in high-performance composites. However, the adhesion properties between fibers and most polymer matrices were poor. In this study, aramid fiber (AF) was modified by KH550 through surface coating based on the treatment with CaCl₂ solution. The new surface treated with complexing agents could act as an active platform for secondary reactions for further modification. The surface morphology and composition of the treated aramid fibers were tested by scanning electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the interlaminar shear strength and the tensile strength of aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP) of were evaluated. The results showed that the silane coupling agent KH550 was successfully grafted onto the surface of aramid fibers after treatment with CaCl₂. Interlayer shear strength is greatly improved and the tensile strength of AFRP through further grafting with KH550 on the surface treated with CaCl₂ was improved by 48.7%, compared with untreated aramid fiber. In the current scenario, this study is of immense importance because it validates the possibility of secondary modification after fiber complexation modification and useful modification methods, and provides a new direction for the modification of AF.     

A new coupling agent for aramid fibers

Various compounds were used for the surface treatment of aramid fibers in order to promote adhesion to polymeric matrices. The improvement of adhesive bond could be based either on the roughness of fiber surface or on chemical modification introduced by grafting. The compounds used are more or less reactive to the secondary amide groups, present on the aramid chain. Thus, the fibers were impregnated with acetic acid anhydride, sulfuric acid–acrylamide, and methacryloyl chloride. The effect of such treatment was first evaluated by optical microscopy and infrared analysis. Tensile measurements were also carried out in order to define any changes of strength and modulus. Finally, tensile specimens were prepared using unsaturated polyester reinforced with aramid fibers and the effect of chemical treatment on the tensile strength was determined. From the above study, methacryloyl chloride was proved an effective coupling agent with possible grafting to aramid fibers.     

Experimental characterization of contact angle and surface energy on aramid fibers

In this paper, both contact angles and surface energy of aramid fibers are investigated using the liquid droplet method. First, the contact angles between matrix resin and aramid fibers are measured at different degrees of cure, which indicate that the contact angles increased initially and then decreased after the consolidation. Second, surface energy components of aramid fibers are determined from the contact angle using the geometric-mean equations. Finally, the influences of various surface treatments on the surface energy of aramid fibers are analyzed. These results play an important role for designing and evaluating the fiber/matrix interfacial strength of aramid fiber-reinforced composites.
