Abstract
The aim of this work is the evaluation of the effects of plasma treatment and the addition of SiO2 on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/polyurethanes (PUR) composite. A powder impregnation process with integrated inline continuous plasma of carbon fibers was used to produce CF/PUR composite. CF/PUR composite were processed into test laminates by compression moulding and interface dominated composite properties were studied. The tensile, flexural and impact strength of composites containing SiO2 and plasma-treated carbon fibers improved obviously.
