Synergy of Fiber Surface Chemistry and Flow: Multi-Phase Transcrystallization in Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastics

Synergy of Fiber Surface Chemistry and Flow: Multi-Phase Transcrystallization in Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastics

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are largely employed for their improved strength with respect to unfilled matrices. Considering semi-crystalline materials under relevant processing conditions, the applied pressure and flow induce shear stresses at the fiber–polymer interface. These stresses may...
