Popis: The properties of the interphase between Twaron® aramid fibres and polymer matrix systems can be optimized by a surface treatment process of the fibres. In this work, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low-energy ion scattering have been used to analyse the surface layers, whereas the adhesion was measured by a bundle pull-out experiment. From the results, we succeeded in establishing a relation between the surface treatment, the resulting chemical/elemental surface composition and the adhesion to an epoxy matrix.
