Micro-configuration controlled interfacial adhesion by grafting graphene oxide onto carbon fibers

An effective way to enhance the interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite (CFRPs) was proposed by preparing graphene oxide (GO)/carbon fiber (CF) hybrid fibers through electrophoretic deposition. The influence of different deposition parameters on the microstructure of GO/CF hybrid fibers were synthetically investigated in order to understand the micro-configuration and bonding mechanism. Note that GO deposition was...
