Fibre-matrix adhesion in thermoplastic compositesFibre-matrix adhesion plays a crucial role in the mechanical properties and durability of composite materials. Despite many studies on fibre-matrix interfaces have been carried out, they are mostly based on the use of “single fibre tests” and focused on thermosetting composites. |
