Popis: | We have investigated carbon fiber/resin debonding mechanisms using wetting force scanning to examine the fracture surfaces. The wettability of the site of a resin microdroplet (50-150 μm long) on a fiber after debonding is compared with that of the original fiber surface by scanning along the fiber with an appropriate probe liquid. For an HMS/Epon828 system, debonding seems to involve removal of a layer of carbon fiber, while for an AS4/Epon828 system, there is evidence for adhesive failure as well as cohesive failures in both fiber and resin. These contrasting failure mechanisms are consistent with the morphological structures of the carbon fibers studied. |
