description | This paper primarily investigates the effects of chemically grafted modified carbon fibers on the bonding properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). Relative elemental content on the carbon fibers’ surface was performed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to observe the material microstructure. The effect of chemically grafted carbon fibers on the bond strengths of FMLs was experimentally investigated through lap joint testing. The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grafting concentration and curing conditions of the samples were also investigated. The test results demonstrate that grafting concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mg/mL CNT solution increased the bond strength of the cured samples under vacuum conditions by 63.51%, 87.16%, and 71.56%, respectively. In addition, the bond strengths of vacuum-cured samples were also increased. |
