Abstract

A method for increasing the adhesive interaction at the interface between a carbon fiber reinforcing filler and a polymer matrix in polymer composite materials by modifying the filler surface by electrochemical treatment is considered. The methods used to characterize the surface of the origin and modified fibers are listed. The features of the electrochemical oxidation process of carbon fibers are shown. The main advantages and disadvantages of this modification method are given. An overview of the results of studies of electrochemical oxidation of carbon reinforcing filler use to improve the mechanical characteristics of carbon plastics is given.
