Modification of Surface of Reinforcing Carbon Fillers for Polymeric Composite Materials by Plasma Treatment (Review)

Abstract

The problem of increasing the adsorptive and adhesive interaction at the phase boundary between a matrix and a reinforcing fibrous filler in the creation and application of carbon-filled plastics was investigated. A promising way of achieving this aim is to develop methods for surface treatment of the carbon reinforcing fillers and, particularly, to modify the surface of the carbon fibrous materials by plasma treatment.
