Abstract

Since unidirectional (UD) prepregs are anisotropic in the fiber alignment direction, the alignment angle of carbon fibers plays a significant role in the mechanical and thermal properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites. Non-crimp carbon fiber fabric/epoxy composites with different angle-plies of [0°], [0°/90°], [0°/45°/90°], and [0°/30°/60°/90°] stacking sequences were prepared by compression molding. The effect of prepreg angle-ply on the properties of resulting composites was explored. The [0°] composite exhibited the highest dynamic mechanical, tensile, flexural and impact properties, whereas the [90°] composite exhibited the lowest properties. The properties of the [0°/90°], [0°/45°/90°], and [0°/30°/60°/90°] composites were intermediate between the [0°] and [90°] composites, depending on the angle-plies consisting of the composites. The present study indicates that prepreg angle-ply design should be importantly considered to manipulate their properties of non-crimp carbon fiber fabric-reinforced composites.


일방향(UD) 프리프레그는 섬유방향으로 이방성을 띠고 있기 때문에 탄소섬유의 배향각은 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 기계적, 열적 특성에 중요한 역할을 한다. [0°], [0°/90°], [0°/45°/90°], [0°/30°/60°/90°] 적층 순서에 따라 서로 다른 angle-ply를 갖는 크림프가 없는 탄소섬유직물/에폭시 복합재료를 압축성형으로 제조하고, 그들의 특성에 미치는 프리프레그 angle-ply 영향을 조사하였다. [0°] 복합재료는 가장 높은 동역학적, 인장, 굴곡 및 충격 특성을 나타낸 반면, [90°] 복합재료는 가장 낮은 특성을 나타냈다. [0°/90°], [0°/45°/90°], [0°/30°/60°/90°] 복합재료는 프리프레그 angle-ply에 따라 [0°]와 [90°] 복합재료 사이의 특성을 나타내었다. 본 연구는 크림프가 없는 탄소섬유직물강화 복합재료의 특성 제어를 위해 프리프레그 angle-ply 디자인이 중요함을 가리킨다
