3R Composites: Knockdown Effect Assessment and Repair Efficiency via Mechanical and NDE Testing

In this study, the mechanical properties of purposefully synthesized vitrimer repairable epoxy composites were investigated and compared to conventional, commercial systems. The purpose was to assess the knockdown effect, or the relative property deterioration, from the use of the vitrimer in severa...
