Interface Design of Polymer Matrix Composites – Mechanics, Chemistry, Modelling and Manufacturing

The 28th Risø International Symposium on Materials Science addresses the whole range from fundamental understanding to industrial applications. Topics include:

• surface functionalising
• chemical and physical surface characterisation
• mechanical characterisation of interfaces
• micromechanical modelling
• fibre/matrix debonding
• sizings effects on composite processing
• interface aspects and their integration into manufacturing
• fibre bridging in composites
• fracture resistance of composite
• tensile and compressive strength of composite
• macroscale modelling
• hole and notch sensitivity
