Microwave-assisted activation of high-modulus carbon fibres for interface engineering: Elucidating the distinct roles of electrostatic wetting and van der Waals locking
Key Points
Activated carbon fibres demonstrate improved interface performance, enhancing overall material stability and strength.
Key evidence shows that electrostatic wetting and van der Waals locking contribute differently to interface properties.
Microwave-assisted activation was employed to study the interaction between carbon fibres and matrix materials in depth.
These findings highlight the potential for improved manufacturing methods in advanced composite materials.
