Cyclodextrin as sizing for carbon fibers: new bonding mechanism improves adhesion in carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin

In this study, β-cyclodextrin was covalently bonded on carbon fibers and its influence through host-guest complex formation was analyzed. Since cyclodextrins act as host molecules for aromatic compounds, complex formations can be performed in carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resins, between the carbon...
