• Crystalline structure of carbon

Match the following

• Fiber volume fraction

• The volume percentage of carbon fibers within the composite, which has a linear relationship with the composite's mechanical properties.

• Matrix type

• The glue that holds the carbon fibers together into a shape.

• Fiber length

• The orientation of the fibers when made into a fabric.

• Dispersion homogeneity

• The uniform distribution of carbon fibers within the polymer matrix, which influences the interfacial stress shifting.

• Weave pattern

• Two different types include Short carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (SCFRP) and continuous carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CCFRP).

Match the following

• Aspect ratio

• The ratio of the length to diameter of the reinforcing carbon fibers, where a higher aspect ratio maximizes the load transfer

• Interfacial shear strength

• equivalent to fiber loading, which can negatively impact the mechanical performance of the composite

• Fiber Breakage and loading

• The strength of the bond between the different layers or plies in a laminated CFRP composite, which can impact the overall mechanical performance

• Interlaminar shear strength

• The strength of the bond between the carbon fibers and the polymer matrix, which affects the composite's mechanical properties

Match the following

• Amorphous Structure (aka defects)

• The ordered, three-dimensional arrangement of polymer chains, which can coexist with amorphous regions and impact the mechanical, thermal, and optical properties of the polymer

• Hybridization

• The planar, hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms in the carbon fibers, which contributes to their high thermal and electrical conductivity

• Polymer Chain

• Imperfections or irregularities in the atomic structure of carbon fibers, such as vacancies, dislocations, and dangling bonds, which can affect the composite's mechanical performance

• Crystalline Structure

• The long, intertwined molecular chains of the polymer matrix, held together by weaker van der Waals forces

• Graphitic Structure

• The mixing of atomic orbitals in carbon atoms, resulting in different bonding configurations (sp, sp2, sp3) that influence the properties of carbon-based materials
