Abstract:In order to improve the mechanical properties of the short carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (SCFRP) composites, SiCnw were introduced into the SCFRP composites through an in-situ grown method. It was found that the SiCnw were grown in the matrix and on the surface of carbon fibers. The in-situ grown SiCnw could effectively reinforce the SCFRP composites and lead to an enhanced mechanical properties. The SiCnw not only acted as the secondary reinforcement, but also increased the fiber-matrix interfacial bonding area and bonding strength. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
