The fibre–matrix interface represents a vital element in the development and
characterisation of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Extensive ranges of interfacial …

The feasibility of reinforcing conventional carbon fiber composites by grafting carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) onto the fiber surface has been investigated. Carbon nanotubes were …

The effect of temperature cycle on the void volume fraction, shape and spatial distribution
was determined by means of X-ray microtomography in [0] 10 AS4/8552 composite …

The influence of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) content on the fiber/matrix interfacial shear
strength (IFSS) in glass/fiber epoxy composites was measured by means of push-in and …

In a fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composite (PMC), the function of the fibre is to bear the
applied load that is transferred via shear stresses through the fibre-matrix interface from the …

In our study we present a procedure to measure and analyze single-fiber push-out force–
displacement curves on carbon fiber reinforced polymers using a cyclic loading–unloading …

Single-fiber push-out tests performed with a Berkovich and a flat-end indenter tip were
conducted on the same SiC/PyC/SiC ceramic matrix composite sample for comparison …

An exploration of the surface characteristics of fibres and textiles. It emphasizes how fibre
surface affects permeability, stiffness, strength, dyeing, wrinkling, and other performance …

Cyclic thermal expansion measurements and single-fiber push-out tests performed with a
flat-end indenter tip have been conducted on unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced …

A novel methodology is presented and applied to measure the shear interface strength of
fiber-reinforced polymers. The strategy is based in fiber push-in tests carried out on the …
