Measuring of Fiber/Matrix Adhesion in Thermoplastic Polymer Composites: A Preliminary Study
The possibilities of the application of microbond test and cylinder tests for determining
the
interfacial
shea
r strength at
the fiber
-
matrix
interface
in thermoplastic matrix polymer
composites
were investigated
. Possibilities of test specimen preparation were also investigated.
Finally the applicability of the method to make high precision measurement of interfac
ial shear
strength was evaluated
