Enhancement of Mechanical Properties of Kevlar-Epoxy Composite by Improving the Interface Coupling
Technical Paper - While this article was written about reinforced composites, it could be applied to filled epoxy sealants or adhesives. The surface of Kevlar fibers was chemically modified by treatment with phthalic anhydride (PA) which was confirmed by DSC and FTIR spectroscopy. The surface modification improved the adhesion to epoxy resin by 21%. SEM revealed marginal surface roughening without...
