Observation of interfacial damage in a silk‐epoxy composite, using hyperspectral and fluorescence lifetime imaging of a simple mechanoresponsive fluorescent probe

Polymer composites are found throughout the world both natural and artificial in origin. In the vast majority of applications, composites serve as structural support or reinforcement roles. Demand for lightweight tough composites is growing in multiple application spaces such as areospace, biomateri...
