Molecular Dynamics Simulation on the Effect of Self-Resistance Electric Heating on Carbon Fiber Surface Chemical Properties and Fiber/PP Interfacial Behavior.

ABSTRACT: Carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRT) composites have been dramatically employed in the automotive field on account of their superior performances, such as being light weight and high-strength. Self-resistance electric (SRE) heating provides a solution to the problem of high energy consumption in the conventional process of CFRT composites. The effect of SRE heating on the surface chemical properties of carbon fiber (CF) was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS analysis suggests that the C-O-C epoxy group, the CF surface, would be degraded after SRE heating with strong current intensity, while there are weak changes in the content of -C-OH, -C-O-C-, -C-NH2 and -COOH groups with current intensity. The interfacial bonding properties and the radial distribution f
