Fiber Optic Flow and Cure Sensing for Liquid Composite Molding

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
Joy P. Dunkers, Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart, S R. Kueh, J H. VanZanten, S G. Advani, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
The Polymer Composites group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology has efforts in both on-line flow and cure sensing for liquid composite molding. For our flow program, a novel fiber optic real time sensor system has been developed that can

Broadband Dielectric Relaxation of Polymer Composite Films

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
C. K. Chiang, R Popielarz, R Nozaki, Jan Obrzut
The broadband dielectric relaxation of a BaTiO3-polymer composite film was studied. The complex dielectric constant data from 10 -4 Hz to 10 10 Hz reveals the existence of a relaxation process at a frequency of 10 MHz in the polymer composite. On the basis

Preparation and Characterization of Photopatternable BaTiO 3 / Polymer Composites

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
R Popielarz, C. K. Chiang, R Nozaki, Jan Obrzut
The dielectric properties of acrylic resin composites filled with BaTiO 3 have been evaluated in the broad frequency range. These materials were used as models to study the dielectric response in polymer composite films for de-coupling capacitance

Textile Composites: Modelling Strategies

The Application of Optical Coherence Tomography to Problems in Polymer Matrix Composites

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Joy Dunkers, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., D P. Sanders, M J. Everett, William H. Green, Donald L. Hunston, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
The Composites Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology has found optical coherence tomography (OCT) to be a powerful tool for non-destructive characterization of polymer matrix composites. Composites often exhibit superior properties to

Using Self-Assembled Monolayer Technology to Probe the Fiber-Matrix Interface

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, E Feresenbet, D T. Raghavan
hesion at the fiber matrix interface of composite specimens is often ascribed to the following factors (Sharpe and Drzal): (1) mechanical interlocking, (2) physicochemical interactions, (3) chemical bonding, and (4) mechanical deformation of the fiber

A Test Method for Assessing Interfacial Shear Strength in Composites

May 1, 2000
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, Donald L. Hunston, Walter G. McDonough, R C. Peterson
Two of the critical factors controlling the long-term performance and durability of composites in structural applications is the fiber-matrix interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and the durability of the fiber-matrix interface. The single fiber fragmentation

Imaging of Composite Defects and Damage Using Optical Coherence Tomography

May 1, 2000
Author(s)
Joy Dunkers, M J. Everett, D P. Sanders, Donald L. Hunston
The Composites Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology has found optical coherence tomography (OCT) to be a powerful tool for non-destructive characterization of polymer matrix composites. Composites can be made more cost competitive by

Imaging of Impact Damage in Composites Using Optical Coherence Tomography

February 1, 2000
Author(s)
Joy Dunkers, D P. Sanders, Donald L. Hunston, M J. Everett
Resistance to impact damage is extremely important for most composites. Such damage can initiate delamination, one of the most common failure modes in composites.. Because this is such an important failure mode, many studies have tried to develop matrix

A Microshear Test to Measure the Bond Between Dental Composites and Dental Substrates

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Joseph M. Antonucci, Gary E. Schumacher, Y Shimada
Mechanical property tests such as the diametral tensile, uniaxial tensile, biaxial flexural, shear, and transverse strength tests are commonly used for assessing the bond that forms between dental composites and dental substrates such as dentin and enamel

Factors That Affect Adhesion at the Fiber-Matrix Interface in Composites

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, E Feresenbet, E Pohl, Walter G. McDonough, D T. Raghavan, D Thompson
The development of methods to assess adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface in composite materials has been driven primarily by the recognition that the interface or interphase in many composite materials has a profound affect on the onset of failure in

Single Fiber Composites: A New Methodology for Determining Interfacial Shear Strength

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, Donald L. Hunston, Walter G. McDonough, R C. Peterson
One of the critical factors controlling the long-term performance and durability of composites in structural applications is the interfacial shear strength (IFSS). The single fiber composite (SFC) test has been viewed by many as the best test for

The Effect of Processing on Interfacial Shear Properties of Composite Materials

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Joy P. Dunkers, Gale A. Holmes, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
The objective of our research was to extend the use of the single fiber fragmentation test to include fast reacting resin systems and to determine the effect of gelation time on interfacial shear properties. To do this work, we developed a processing

Characterization of Composite Microstructure and Damage Using Optical Coherence Tomography

Author(s)
Joy Dunkers, C G. Zimba, Kathleen M. Flynn, Donald L. Hunston, R Prasankumar, X Li, J G. Fujimoto
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-destructive and non-contact technique that images microstructure within scattering media. In this work, the versatility of OCT for non-destructive evaluation is demonstrated through imaging of composite

Optical Coherence Tomography of Glass Reinforced Polymer Composites
