Notes:
In this work, effects of the oxygen plasma on surface characteristics of carbon fibers wereinvestigated in impact strengths of the carbon fibers-reinforced composites. The surface properties ofthe carbon fibers were determined by acid-base values, FT-IR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Also, the mechanical properties of the composites were studied in impact strengthmeasurements. As experimental results, the O1S/C1S ratio of the carbon fiber surfaces treated byoxygen plasma was increased compared to that of untreated ones, possibly due to development ofoxygen-containing functional groups. The mechanical properties of the composites, including impactstrength had been improved in the oxygen plasma on fibers. These results indicate that the oxygenplasma can lead to an increase in the adhesion between fibers and matrix in a composite system
