Interlayer bonding between thermoplastic composites and metals by <scp>in‐situ</scp> polymerization technique

Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) offer the superior characteristics of polymer composites (i.e., light weight, high strength and stiffness) with ductility fracture metals. The bond between two dissimilar materials, composite metal, dictates properties performance FMLs. bonding becomes more critical when matrix is thermoplastic hydrophobic in nature. This work employed a novel technique metal layer using six different combinations organic coatings. flexural, interlaminar shear fiber (TP-FMLs) were examined to investigate strengths cases along revealed from tested samples scanning electron microscopy. viscoelastic fabricated TP-FMLs also investigated dynamic mechanical thermal analysis method.
