Abstract

This study treated the surface of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres with plasma and optimized the parameters of plasma treatment. On this basis, UHMWPE fibre composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared, and the changes of UHMWPE fibres before and after modification in the chemical composition, surface morphology, and mechanical properties were studied. The results showed that oxygen-containing functional groups and active free radicals on the surface of plasma treated UHMWPE fibres increased. Tensile strength and modulus of UHMWPE fibre composites reinforced with CNTs increased by 16.3% and 21%.
