Microstructural characterization and mechanical property prediction of a polymer matrix composite by X-ray synchrotron tomography and spatial correlation functions

Abstract: Polymer matrix composites have become increasingly popular due to their ability of achieving high stiffness and strength without sacrificing desirable ductility. In the present work, we investigate the mechanical properties of borosilicate glass spheres reinforced polypropylene matrix composites with varying volume fractions of the glass spheres, using both tensile tests and nanoindentation measurements. The objective was to study the effect of volume fraction of borosilicate glass spheres on the mechanical be… Show more

“…Compared to the normal laboratory-based X-ray CT imaging, synchrotron-based X-ray has 3-5 orders of magnitude higher photon flux which allows for shorter imaging time. This technique has been applied to various areas, such as studying mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics [13,14], behaviors of material during metal 3D printing [15], and solidification of colloidal silica aqueous suspension during the freeze casting process [12].…”
