Microstructure of Epoxy-Based Composites: Fractal Nature Analysis

Polymers and polymer matrix composites are commonly used materials with applications extending from packaging to delicate electronic devices. Epoxy resins fiber-reinforced epoxy-based have been as adhesives construction parts. Fractal analysis has recognized in science a valuable tool for the microstructural characterization of by connecting fractal characteristics composites’ functional properties. In this study, reconstructions different shapes an composite were performed on field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images. These images glass fiber reinforced epoxy well hybrid containing both electrospun polystyrene fibers matrix. reconstruction enables identification self-similarity structure, which represents novelty analyzing properties materials. Real Finder software, based mathematical affine regression model, was employed reconstruct microstructure calculate dimensions develop method predicting optimal structure–property relations future.
