Characterization and interphase mechanical properties of epoxy/PVP blends

<p>Applying sizing material (poly n-vinylpyrrolidone or PVP) around graphite tihers enhances the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites. Understanding the influence of the interphase region between the carbon fiber and epoxy matrix is crucial in enhancing the perform...
