Spectroscopic Characterization of Molecular Interdiffusion at a Poly(Vinyl Pyrrolidone) / Vinyl Ester Interface

Mechanical properties of (woven carbon fiber / vinyl ester matrix) composites can be greatly improved if the interphase between the reinforcing high-strength low-weight fiber and the thermoset resin is made more compliant. In order to improve the adhesion of the vinyl ester matrix to the carbon fibe...
