Abstrakt: As a conductive material for snow melting on bridge decks, the interfacial shear strength of carbon fiber/rubber conductive composites is a prerequisite for engineering applications. The interfacial shear strength of the carbon fiber/rubber conductive composite was determined. The microstructure after the shear test was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The interfacial stability was evaluated base on the extreme temperature on bridge decks. Finally, the interface durability was analyzed through 100 low-temperature cycles, 240 h high temperature and 50 electrification tests. The results show that the interfacial shear strength is 4.32 MPa. SEM results show that the shear force at the interface comes from three aspects. The interfacial shear strength is 13.45% higher than normal at −20°C, and 17.33% lower than normal at 60°C. The interfacial shear strength decreases by 7.48% after 15 cycles of low temperature and then stabilized. The effect of continuous high temperature and multiple energizations on the interfacial shear strength is small. SEM results confirm that low-temperature cycling reduces the internal bonding of rubber. The carbon fiber/rubber composite has good interfacial stability and durability. This study provides a mechanical foundation for the active snow melting of carbon fiber/rubber conductive composites on bridge decks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
