The effect of in-situ electrochemical grafting of KH-792 onto carbon fibers on surface properties by Yan-lin Li, Chong-pan Ma, Xiao-lei Sun, Qi-hang Lou, Yuan-jian Tong, Yu Wang

“…The effect of electrochemical grafting of KH-792 on the surface physical and chemical structure and properties of the CFs were investigated through testing methods such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, single-filament tensile, and dynamic contact angle (DCAT). The results indicated that after electrochemical grafting with a KH-792/NH4HCO3 composite electrolyte, the number of oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing groups on the fiber surface was significantly increased, resulting in improved surface wettability of carbon fibers. …”
