Abstract: Carbon fiber was surface treated by synthesized epoxy-modified waterborne polyurethane (EWPU) sizing agent. The effect of EWPU sizing agent on the surface of carbon fiber and the interfacial properties of the carbon fiber/cyanate ester resin composites were investigated. Specifically, the surface morphology, surface chemical element composition and infiltration of the carbon fiber(CF) and secondary sizing modified carbon fiber (MCF) were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and static contact angle measurement. In addition, the effects of EWPU sizing agent on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/cyanate resin composites were analyzed by single-fiber fragmentation test and short beam shear method. After the EWPU sizing treatment, the surface of carbon fiber exhibited a increase of 39.13% in O/C value and a increase of 14.97% in the content of active functional group, respectively. There were 19.41% and 20.59% decrease in the initial and steady contact angles of carbon fiber and resin, respectively. In addition, carbon fiber/cyanate resin composite presented 13.42% and 14.29% increment in the monofilament interface shear strength and interlaminar shear strength, respectively.
