Characterization of fiber-matrix interface bonding at the CFRP step of fiber fabrication process by single fiber push-out technique

Characterization of Fiber-Matrix Interface Bonding at the CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) Step of Fiber Fabrication Process by Single Fiber Push-out Technique. In the present work, CFRP bonding properties of the fiber-matrix interface were investigated using a micro-indentation method in which a pyramidal indenter is used to push on the fibers and cause debonding and sliding at the interface. Krenkel et al. have found that the fiber-matrix bonding is a very important factor which governs the formation of the microcrack pattern during pyrolysis.
