Glass fibre reinforcements form the backbone of a composites industry with a global annual
production of more than 10 million tons of high performance, light-weight materials. Possibly …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

Building on the success of its predecessor with completely revised material and six new
chapters, the Handbook of Polypropylene and Polypropylene Composites, Second Edition …

Thick unidirectional fiber reinforced RTM6 epoxy resin specimens were processed by resin
transfer molding and tested in transverse compression. Homogenized response from …

The properties of the fiber/matrix interphase in glass-fiber-reinforced composites can play a
dominant rôle in governing overall composite performance. Understanding the interactions …

In this study, the interaction of epoxy resin with the glass fiber in the presence of monolayer
glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy silane is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. To …

Interfacial interaction is one of the most important factors that affect the mechanical
properties of the fiber reinforced composites. The effect of fabrics′ sizing removal from …

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we develop strain-rate dependent Mode-I
cohesive traction laws for the glass fiber-epoxy interphase as a function of interphase …

Using a FEA homogenization technique, this study presents the influence of interphase
region on composites. Numerical models using Abaqus™ are developed in order to predict …

Prior research has demonstrated that fiber-sizings can be designed to yield composite
materials that simultaneously possess high energy absorption and structural properties. The …
