Fiber/Matrix Interface in Carbon/Carbon Composites

Composites with Imperfect Interface

New bounds are derived on the e ective heat conductivity tensor for an anisotropic two-phase composite with interfacial surface resistance between phases. The new upper bound is given in terms of the two-point correlation function, component volume fractions and moment of inertia tensor for the surface of each heterogeneity. The new lower bound is given in terms of the interfacial surface area,...

Pivotal role of filler/matrix interface in dental composites: Review

Dental material research has improved the application and performance of the polymer-based restorative dental composite materials. In spite of these advances, some deficiencies exist in their

Interface effect on thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube composites

Probabilistic Thermoelastic Effective Characteristics for Composites with Interface Defects

The main purpose of the paper is to present the results of probabilistic homogenization of the fiber-reinforced composites with stochastic interface defects. The mathematical model of the composite is based on the interphase containing all interface defects which are averaged within this region. Next, the effective modules method is applied to compute the effective thermoelastic characteristics...

Thermoreversible and remendable glass–polymer interface for fiber-reinforced composites

Adhesion of the reinforcement to the polymer matrix is essential for load transfer from the polymer matrix to the reinforcement material in fiber-reinforced composites. The reversible Diels–Alder reaction between a furan-functionalized epoxy-amine thermosetting matrix with a maleimide-functionalized glass fiber was used to impart remendability at the polymer–glass interface for potential applic...
