Abstract: A method with which mechanical properties of the interface of the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin matrix composite material can be improved by conducting grafting on surfaces of materials. A carbon fiber (CF) and a polymethyl methacrylate resin (PMMA) are subjected to interface modification treatment to introduce active carboxyl groups to the surfaces of the materials. Then, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is used as a coupling layer for connecting the carboxyl groups on the surfaces of the carbon fiber and on the surfaces of the polymethyl methacrylate resin to form a “molecular bridge”. Accordingly, the interface binding force between the resin and the fiber is improved by chemical grafting. A modified carbon fiber reinforced polymethyl methacrylate composite material sample (CF/PMMA) is prepared by a thin film lamination method, and the composite material sample prepared is subjected to a microscopic verification testing of the validity of the method provided in the present disclosure.
