“…The local properties, such as thermal, mechanical, chemical, and morphological characteristics are different from the ones of the surrounding bulk matrix. Nowadays, the existence of a transition region between fibre and matrix is widely accepted and new characterization methods revealed locally different properties within a region of a few tens to a few hundreds of nanometers [1][2][3][4][5]. Sizing chemistry and interdiffusion play a great part in the development of interphases, which have been investigated in our earlier work [5].…”

“…To date, a large body of literature contributing information to silanes and interfacial or interphasial issues in composites materials is available. Reviews on certain aspects can be found in [2,9,[28][29][30]. This study is concerned with the systematic evaluation of a sizing system, consisting of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and a PP film former, and its effect on interphase dominated micro and macro mechanical properties of continuously GF reinforced PP.…”

Abstract.Interface related mechanical properties of unidirectional continuous glass fibre (GF)/polypropylene (PP) composites made of commingled yarns have been systematically studied according to a three level, three-factor factorial design. The three systematically varied factors comprised different silane coupling agent and film former contents in GF sizings as well as a varying GF diameter. Besides the statistical evaluation of those main effects on the transverse tensile and compression shear strengths of the composites, interfacial shear strength measurements on model composites have been performed. The latter ones as well as the results of the dynamic mechanical thermal analysis support the statistical significance of sizing components, the sizing content on the GF, and GF diameter for the mechanical properties of the composites. This highlights the interplay of proper sizing formulation and reproducible GF-spinning conditions, as both affect the interfacial bonding of continuously reinforced GF/PP composites.

“…[21][22][23][24] In polymer composites, significant effort has been focused on improving wettability and chemical bonding at or near the interface region. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Generally referred as the interphase, this region exhibits a transition between the properties of the matrix and the reinforcement phases. Engineering these interphases for improved macroscale properties presents a significant challenge.…”

“…Engineering these interphases for improved macroscale properties presents a significant challenge. Prior efforts have included silane treatments of glass fiber epoxy composites, 25,26 use of nanotubes to enhance glass fiber-matrix adhesion, 28 the use of nano-fillers in the matrix, 33 and surface modifications of carbon nanotubes. 27 Although these studies have clearly demonstrated the enhancement of the bulk mechanical properties, additional work is still needed to understand and quantify the underlying physical processes.…”

Mesoscale interfaces and interphases play a central role in controlling the many macroscale mechanical properties and performance characteristics of structural materials. Modern instrumented indenters present an unprecedented opportunity to measure, reliably and consistently, the local mechanical responses at a multitude of length scales ranging from tens of nanometers to hundreds of microns. When these high-fidelity measurements are combined with rigorous data analyses protocols, it is possible to systematically study the mechanical role of individual mesoscale interfaces and quantify their contributions to the overall mechanical response of the material system. The advantages of these new measurement and analyses protocols as well as the potential for development and implementation of novel high-throughput assays is discussed.

“…However moisture absorption has a huge impact on degrading the tensile strength of these composites [2]. The bonding interfaces play an influential role in affecting the mechanical properties of the fibre reinforced plastics and this bond between the matrix and the reinforcement was identified as a function of the temperature, pressure and curing time in compression moulding [3]. The volume fraction of fibre in compression moulded composites affect the quality of the surface and its properties [4].…”

Compression moulding is an economical process for processing thermosetting polymers hence finding numerous applications in industries. The moulding parameters like the pressure, temperature and curing time play an important role in influencing the quality characteristics of the manufactured component. The present work is intended to produce fibre glass reinforced epoxy stiffeners using the process of compression moulding for various combinations of input parameters. The input parameters were varied at two levels and a L8 orthogonal array was chosen to perform the trials. Grey relational analysis (GRA) was applied for optimizing the process parameters and ANOVA was performed to identify the contribution of various process parameters.
