Influence of Roller Configuration on the Fiber–Matrix Distribution and Mechanical Properties of Continuously Produced, Mineral-Impregnated Carbon Fibers (MCFs)

The article at hand is envisaged to enumerate significant technological parameters for the successful impregnation of carbon fiber rovings having 50,000 (50 K) filaments, each within a fine-grained, cementitious suspension. Parameters such as number rollers well influence roller deflection and rotation have been investigated discussed with regard quality related mechanical properties resulting therefrom. Morphological analysis disclosed distinct differences in matrix distribution, which are particularly reflected flexural performance mineral-impregnated fibers (MCFs) produced. Moreover, best uniaxial tensile tests on MCFs demonstrated superior strengths, moduli elasticity, elongations rupture.
