Constructing a Double Alternant “Rigid-Flexible” Structure for Simultaneously Strengthening and Toughening the Interface of Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Composites

An optimized “rigid-flexible” structure with multistage gradient modulus was constructed on carbon fiber (CF) surface via chemical grafting using “flexible” polyethyleneimine (PEI) and “rigid” polydopamine (PDA) between “rigid” CF and “flexible” epoxy (EP) to elaborate a double alternant “rigid-flex...
