Abstract

Cement-reinforcing carbon fibers were surface-modified with $O_2$, $H_2O$, acrylic acid, diaminocyclohexane plasmas and their effects were investigated. Hydrophobic surfaces with water contact angles of $75{\sim}80^{\circ}$ were changed to hydrophilic surfaces. The water contact angles were reduced down to lower than $10^{\circ}$. As a result, the fiber's hygroscopic property and dispersion in water were improved. Also, Zeta potential of the fiber in water was changed from a negative value to positive values. As a result, adhesion with cement that had a negative Zeta potential was improved up to 57~124% through increased electrostatic interaction.

$O_2$, $H_2O$, acrylic acid, diaminocyclohexane 등의 저온 플라즈마를 이용하여 시멘트 보강용 탄소 섬유 표면을 친수성으로 개질한 다음, 이에 대한 효과를 살펴보았다. 물과의 접촉각이 $75{\sim}80^{\circ}$ 정도로 소수성이던 표면이 친수성으로 변하여 접촉각이 $10^{\circ}$ 이하로까지 낮아졌으며, 이에 따라 흡습성 및 수용액에서 분산성이 크게 향상되었다. 또한, 섬유표면의 제타 포텐셜이 변하여 시멘트와 정전기적 인력이 향상됨으로써 시멘트의 결착도 향상과 함께 시멘트와의 결합이 57~124%까지 향상되었다.
