Outline of Final Research Achievements

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic has received considerable attention and has been considered as the 4th important materials, in addition to metal, glass, and polymer, which has been already utilized to reduce the weight of airplane and car. Therefore, the fundamental research about the improvement of mechanical strength of carbon fiber reinforced composite is very important, which lead to the further reduction of the weight. Innovative interface design having both chemical reactivity and physical anchoring effects was carried out on the surface of carbon fiber. It was experimentally demonstrated that the mechanical strength of carbon fiber polypropylene composite was drastically enhanced about 60% by the synergistic effects of the two factors.
