Facile Strategy of Improving Interfacial Strength of Silicone Resin Composites Through Self-Polymerized Polydopamine Followed via the Sol-Gel Growing of Silica Nanoparticles onto Carbon Fiber

In the present research, to enhance interfacial wettability and adhesion between carbon fibers (CFs) and matrix resin, hydrophilic silica nanoparticles (SiO<sub>2</sub>) were utilized to graft the surface of CFs. Polydopamine (PDA) as a “bio-glue” was architecturally built between SiO<...
