Mussel-Inspired Co-Deposition of Polydopamine/Silica Nanoparticles onto Carbon Fiber for Improved Interfacial Strength and Hydrothermal Aging Resistance of Composites

A novel and effective strategy was first proposed for the codeposition of a mussel-inspired nanohybrid coating with excellent wettability onto the surface of carbon fibers (CFs) by simultaneous polymerization of bioinspired dopamine (DA) and hydrolysis of commercial tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in an ec...
