Abstract

For the majority of composites and their intended applications, the transfer of stress from the point of application throughout the remainder of the composite structure is by a shearing mechanism. The interface between fiber and matrix therefore, plays a major role. This paper examines the drawbacks from conventional micromechanical testing of model composites and introduces the benefits of fragmentation testing of aramid fibers in a thermoplastic elastomer matrix using Raman spectroscopy. Accurate and precise measurements of the interfacial shear strength between fibers and matrix are attainable.
