CFRTP with thermoplastics as matrix allows us to weld them using melting of matrix by heating. We have been developing a direct resistance [...] Read more.
In recent years, carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTP) are expected to be used as lightweight structural materials for mass-produced vehicles. CFRTP with thermoplastics as matrix allows us to weld them using melting of matrix by heating. We have been developing a direct resistance heating method, which uses carbon fibres as the resistance heating element. Carbon nanotube (CNT) is expected to be used as additive to FRP and we reported that the fibre/matrix interfacial shear strength was improved by grafting CNT on the surface of carbon fibres and tensile lap-shear strength was improved by using CNT grafted carbon fibre as the heating element for welding. For the practical use of CFRTP for structural parts, flexural strength is also necessary to be evaluated. In this study, flexural test was carried out to clarify the effect of CNT deposition time to the surface of carbon fibres on flexural strength of resistance welded CFRTP using CNT grafted carbon fibre as the heating element. The highest flexural strength was obtained when CNT10, for which CNT is grafted on the carbon fibres for deposition time of 10 min, was used for the heating element of resistance welding. In the case of CNT deposition time of 60 min, the lowest flexural strength was obtained because of the poor impregnation of the resin into the carbon fibre due to the excess CNT on the carbon fibres.

An analytical model was developed to study the interlaminar fracture behaviour of polymer composite reinforced by carbon fibres grafted with carbon nanotubes. Delamination properties, such as load with displacement or crack (R-curve) and toughness with crack (GR-curve), can be obtained from this model. The bridging laws presented, based on the CNT pullout mechanism (CNT pullout from polymer matrix) and the CNT sword-in-sheath mechanism (CNT breakage), were incorporated into the proposed analytical model to investigate the influence of the structure of CNT growth onto CFs (CNT@CFs) on delamination properties. The numerical results showed that different toughening mechanisms led to different features of GR-curves, R-curves, and load with displacement curves. Parametric study demonstrated that strengthening the CNT@CF interface resulted in significant improvement in toughness. Further, it was found that elastic deformation of CNTs played an important role in the toughness improvement in the CNT sword-in-sheath mechanism, but no such role was evident in the CNT pullout mechanism.
