The improvement in interfacial shear strength of wood fiber/epoxy composite by sizing with epoxy sizing agent containing MWCNTs

This paper discloses a feasible and high efficient strategy for wood fiber treatment to introducing multi‐wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to the surface of wood fibers for the aim of improving the interfacial shear strength of wood fiber/epoxy composite. Briefly, a layer of MWCNT was deposited on wood fibers through sizing wood fibers with epoxy sizing agent containing amine‐treated MWCNTs (MWCNT‐PEI). The surface functional groups, morphology, wettability, and interphase properties of MWCNTs on the surface of wood fiber were studied. The remarkable enhancements were achieved in interfacial shear strength of reinforced composites by dipping wood fiber in MWCNTCOOH suspension and wood fiber sizing containing MWCNT‐PEI.
