Characterization of the intrinsic strength between epoxy and silica using a multiscale approach

Organic–inorganic interfaces exist in many natural or synthetic materials, such as mineral–protein interfaces found in bone and epoxy–silica interfaces found in concrete construction. Here, we report a model to predict the intrinsic strength between organic and inorganic materials, based on a molecu...
