Effect of the interphase on the thermo-mechanical response of unidirectional fiber-reinforced epoxies: modeling, analyses and experiments

The complexity of the fiber-matrix interphase in a composite is largely due to the myriad of variables (material, processing, and design) that affect its formation. The interphase, thus formed, has to be characterized at several levels (micro-structural, chemical, and mechanical) in order for one to...
