Advanced Thermoplastic Laminates with Tailored Interface for Aerostructures
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are currently used in commercial aircrafts replacing their metallic counterparts. Epoxy is used as matrix in CFRPs in the primary structures of aircrafts such as fuselage, ... -
Improving Mechanical Properties and Self-Healing by Dynamic Bonds at Interface in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Laminate and its Recycling
Carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy (CFRE) laminates have revolutionized aerospace engineering due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. However, challenges such as weak ... -
Interfacial Engineering of Hierarchical Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Laminates for Mechanical Property Enhancement and Self-healing Ability
Carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy (CFRE) laminates have become a significant component in aircraft industries over the years due to their superior mechanical and highly tunable properties. However, the interfacial area between ... -
Matrix cracking in polymer matrix composites under static and fatigue loading
Matrix cracking is the first and most dominant mode of damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates resulting in significant stiffness degradation under static and fatigue loading. Matrix crack evolution and its ...
