Abstract:

The interfacial compatibility of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced composites is the key factor to determine the comprehensive properties of the composites. The sizing agent plays an indispensable role between carbon fibers and matrix resins. Environmentally friendly hydrophilic sizing agent is is a hot research issue to be solved. In this work, the hydrophilic lignin-based sizing agent and carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites are prepared and studied. The lignin is ozonized to increase the reactive group. The obtained lignin reacts with epoxy group to prepare the oxidized organic solvent lignin based epoxy resin (OLBE). OLBE reacts with alcohol amine and carboxylic acid to obtain the hydrophilic lignin-based sizing agent. KH550 is further added to balance the hygroscopicity of sizing agent. Finally, an oxidized organic solvent lignin-based hydrophilic sizing agent (OLBEDK) with excellent stability was prepared. The CF treated with 2.5% solid content OLBEDK was only 3.0 mg. The ILSS, Flexural strength, Flexural modulus and Impact strength of CF/PP composites are increased by 50.8%,34.2%, 53.7% and 127.8%, respectively, compared with those of CF/PP composites without sizing. This is attributed to the π-π conjugation between the benzene ring of lignin and the carbon six-membered ring of CF, and the physical entanglement between the alkyl chain of KH550 and the molecular chain of PP, which enhances the interfacial interaction between CF and PP effectively.
