Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were coated onto glass fibres (GFs) using a one-step flame synthesis method. The GF/epoxy resin matrix interfacial bonding strength was investigated by fibre bundle pull-out tests. Results showed that, compared to the as-received GF/epoxy, significant interfacial bonding strength enhancement of ~33% was obtained for CNT-coated GFs/epoxy. Moreover, the wettability of CNT-coated GF by epoxy was increased significantly evidenced by the reduction of CNT-coated GF/epoxy contact angles. The flame synthesis method possesses the potential of efficient high-performance composites fabrication.

涂有火焰合成碳纳米管的玻璃纤维可增强界面性能

使用一步火焰合成方法将碳纳米管（CNT）涂覆到玻璃纤维（GFs）上。通过纤维束拉出试验研究了GF /环氧树脂基体的界面结合强度。结果表明，与原先的GF /环氧树脂相比，CNT包覆的GF /环氧树脂的界面粘结强度提高了约33％。此外，通过减少CNT涂覆的GF /环氧树脂的接触角，可以明显地提高CNT涂覆的GF被环氧树脂的润湿性。火焰合成方法具有高效地制造高性能复合材料的潜力。
