Glass fiber reinforced plastics are widely used in a host of engineering applications. In these two component materials, the region around the boundary where the components meet is known as the 'interphase'. The size of the interphase is typically of the order of few microns and understanding the mechanical properties of this microscopic region is central to understanding the mechanical behavior of...
Evanescent wave spectroscopy has been used to directly monitor the interactions between an epoxy resin and an amino silane coupling agent, γ-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane (γ-APS) adsorbed on silica fibers. First, it was shown that reactions of the adsorbed silane molecules could be monitored as a function of drying at elevated temperature. Next, the silane surface treated fibers were embedded in...
