β¦ Synopsis
Despite their high cost, carbon fibres are an attractive choice as reinforcement for reactive matrices such as cement because of their chemical inertness at ambient temperatures. Since these fibres have very high specific strength and elastic modulus, only a small volume per cent of the fibre is required for producing composites having strengths similar to those of commercial asbestos cement sheets. A .3 vol 7o addition of the high-modulus carbon fibre to cement results in a two-fold increase in the modulus of elasticity and a five-fold increase in the tensile strength over the values of the unreinforced matrix. But no significant improvement in impact strength has been observed at these low levels of fibre addition.
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
Trotz ihrer hohen Kosten sind Kohlenstoffasern fur reaktive Matrizen wie Zement eine g~nstige L~sung, weil sie bei Raumtemperaturen chemisch tr~ge sind. Da die spezifische Festigkeit und der E-Modul dieser Fasern sehr hoch sind, wird eine Beimischung yon nur wenige Vol -% der Faser ben6tigt, urn Verbundstoffe herzustellen, deren Fes.tigkeit etwa der des im Handel erh~iltlichen Asbestzementblechs entspricht. Eine Beimischung im Zement von 3 Vol -% tier Kohlenstoffaser mit hohem E-Modul ergibt den verdoppelten E-Modul und die f~ffache Zugfestigkeit im Vergleich mit der unbewehrten Matrize Bei diesen kleinen Fasermengen wurde abet keine nennenswerte Erh~hung der Schlagfestigkeit festgestellt.

HT-fibres (Grafil XAS12K) were coated with thin layers of polydimethylsiloxane in order to prevent or diminish the adhesion of the phenolic resin to the fibre surfaces. The physical and chemical changes of the polydimethylsiloxane layer at various stages of curing and thermal treatment were studied
The impact strength of UDmodel-composites was studied systematically by reinforcement with varied surface treated type I and type II C-fibres. The results show a different behaviour in crack-propagation using high modulus or high tensile C-fibres. This different behaviour is discussed especially wit
