サイジング剤が付着している強化繊維束を5gほど採取し、耐熱製の容器に投入した。次にこの容器を80℃、真空条件下で24時間乾燥し、吸湿しないように注意しながら室温まで冷却後、秤量した強化繊維束の重量をm1(g)とし、続いて容器ごと、窒素雰囲気中、500℃、15分間の灰化処理を行った。吸湿しないように注意しながら室温まで冷却し、秤量した強化繊維束の重量をm2(g)とした。以上の処理を経て、強化繊維束へのサイジング剤の付着量を下記数式(7)により求めた。測定は10本の繊維束について行い、その平均値を算出した。
数式(7)
付着量(重量%)=100×{(m1-m2)/m1}
サイジング剤の熱分解開始温度は下記のように測定される。まず、サイジング剤が塗布された強化繊維束を5mgほど採取し、110℃で2時間乾燥後、デシケーター内で室温で1時間、冷却する。その後、秤量し、空気雰囲気中でTGA測定する。空気流量を50ml/分、昇温速度を10℃/分とし、室温から650℃までの重量減少を測定する。縦軸を初期重量に対するサイズ糸の重量比(%)、横軸を温度(℃)とするTGA曲線において、重量減少速度(%/℃)の最大となる温度及びそれより低温側で最も隣接する、重量減少速度が極小となる温度を探し、各々の接線の交点を熱分解開始温度と定義する。
30cmに切断した強化繊維束をまっすぐ伸ばして平らな台に載せ、湾曲したり撚れたりしないことを確認する。湾曲あるいは撚れが発生した場合、100℃以下の加熱、あるいは、0.1MPa以下の加圧によって除くことが好ましい。図9に示すように、23±5℃の雰囲気下、直方体の台の端に、30cmに切断した強化繊維束を固定し、この時、強化繊維束は台の端から25cm突き出るように固定、すなわち、強化繊維の端から5cmの部分が、台の端に来るようにし、この状態で5分間静置した後、台に固定していない方の強化繊維束の先端と、台の側面との最短距離を測定した値をドレープ値とした。測定本数はn=5とし、平均値を採用した。
強化繊維束の硬度は、JIS L-1096 E法(ハンドルオメータ法)に準じ、HANDLE-O-Meter(大栄科学精機製作所製「CAN-1MCB」)を用いて測定した。束硬度測定に用いる試験片の長さは10cm、幅はフィラメント数1600本で1mmとなるように強化繊維束を開繊調整した。また、スリット幅は20mmに設定した。このスリット溝が設けられた試験台に試験片となる強化繊維束を1本乗せ、ブレードにて溝の一定深さ(8mm)まで試験片を押し込むときに発生する抵抗力(g)を測定した。強化繊維束の硬度は3回の測定の平均値から得た。
束厚みを繊維束長手方向(繊維方向)に30cm間隔で20点ほど測定し、その平均値を平均繊維束厚み、変動係数を束厚み斑とした。
束幅を繊維束長手方向(繊維方向)に30cm間隔で20点ほど測定し、その平均値を平均繊維束幅、変動係数を束幅斑とした。
平均繊維数を平均繊維束幅で割ることで単位幅あたりの単糸数とした。
強化繊維束の分繊処理を施す前の幅40mmから50mmに拡幅されサイジング剤が塗布された炭素繊維束を長さ230mmにカットし、その一端を端から30mmの位置をクリップで挟み、逆端から100mmの間で幅を5点測定し、その平均値を浸漬前におけるW1した。その後、25℃の水に、5分間浸漬した後、取り出し、クリップで挟んだ側が上に来るように吊るした状態で1分間水を切った後、クリップで挟んだ逆端から100mmの間における幅を5点測定し、その平均値を浸漬後におけるW2とした。以上の処理を経て、サイジング剤が塗布された強化繊維束の幅変化率を下記数式(8)により求めた。
数式(8)
幅変化率=W2/W1
