The shear stiffness and strength of uniaxial specimens of carbon-fibre-reinforced epoxy resin have been measured by use of a torsional testing machine. Both type I (high stiffness) and type II (high strength) fibres were tested in the range 30-70% fibre by volume and the results compared with those for unreinforced resin. A quantitative study was made of the effect on these properties of the hypochlorite surface treatment designed to promote fibre-resin adhesion.
