The role of the fiber/matrix interphase in the static and fatigue behavior of polymeric matrix composite laminates

Within the past several years, researchers have detected the presence of a third “phase” between the bulk fiber phase and bulk matrix phase in a polymeric matrix composite. This finite-thickness region — termed the interphase — possesses mechanical, physical, and chemical properties that are distinc...
