Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the field of new interface design between carbon and polymer, research was focused on a reactive group, i.e. oxazoline and polyvinyloxazoline was synthesized which can react both carbon surface and matrix polymer. The quantitative analysis of functional group on carbon surface was established by neutralization titration method, resulting in the quantitative material design based on functional groups of carbon surface, polyvinyloxazoline, and maleic anhydride of matrix polymer. The dramatic increase of adhesion property and mechanical strength was discovered for carbon fiber polypropylene composite. It was demonstrated the new functionalization of composite based on fundamental science and technology using chemical reaction on carbon surface with new reactive polymer.
