Abstract: To clarify the effect of surface characteristics on the interfacial properties of T1100-grade carbon fiber (CF)/bismaleimide (BMI) composites, three CFs (F1, F2, and F3) with different surface treatments and sizing agents were studied. Surface physicochemical properties and sizing–resin reaction behavior were characterized; nano-infrared spectroscopy was innovatively used to quantify interfacial structure. The correlation among surface features, interfacial structure, and mechanical properties was established. All dry-jet wet-spun T1100 CFs show smooth surfaces with similar roughness, and mechanical interlocking contributes little to interfacial adhesion. F3 possesses the highest active carbon, oxygen content, and epoxy value. Its sizing agent exhibits strong reactivity with BMI, forming a ~200 nm thick interface and the highest interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of 95.9 MPa. Constructing a "thick and strong" interface promotes shear failure from brittle to tough, significantly enhancing 90° tensile and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). This work provides guidance for interface design and engineering applications of T1100/BMI composites in aerospace primary load-bearing structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
