Protocol to construct biomimetic carbon fiber composites with improved interfacial strength

Weak interfacial strength restricts the mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced composites. Here, inspired by natural hook-groove microstructure system (HGMS) of black kite (Milvus migrans), we detail the steps to construct a biomimetic HGMS based on dopamine-functionalized carbon fibers (C...

Descripción
Sumario:Weak interfacial strength restricts the mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced composites. Here, inspired by natural hook-groove microstructure system (HGMS) of black kite (Milvus migrans), we detail the steps to construct a biomimetic HGMS based on dopamine-functionalized carbon fibers (CFs) and zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) using a two-step modification approach. We describe the fabrication of biomimetic carbon fiber composites using vacuum-assisted contact molding (VACM) and subsequent characterization using standard comprehensive mechanical tests techniques. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wang et al. (2022).
