Abstract:Thermoset polymer has considerable useful properties in structure, energy and marine industries. Polyepoxide or epoxy is widely used in composite matrix materials, and therefore, the adhesion between the reinforcement and the matrix is crucial. In order to enhance the adhesion conceptually, single steel fiber reinforcement polymer (SRP) was used in a polyepoxide matrix. The fiber pull-out test (FPO) was used to evaluate the adhesion properties by using thin films of copper for the wire fiber. For comparison, t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
