Kevlar-49 fiber was modified through cold air plasma treatment and pla
sma grafting with acrylic monomers. Fracture of aramid fiber/epoxy res
in micro composites has been studied by means of single fiber pull-out
test. Tow types of pull-out curves are correlated with the different
failure modes. A polyacrylic acid-co-ethyl acrylate graft layer can im
prove the adhesion and protect the fiber from damage caused by interfa
cial stresses.
