An overview of some scaling issues in the sample preparation and data interpretation of the microbond test for fibre-matrix interface characterisation

The microbond test has been widely adopted by researchers seeking to characterise the fibre-matrix interface in polymer composites. This test requires the preparation of polymer droplets with a mass as little as 20 ng. This brings with it the possibility of scaling issues causing unanticipated signi...
