International Symposium on High Performance Composites: Commonalty of Phenomena; Rosemont, IL; October 2-6, 1994

这笔赠款支持1994年10月2日至6日在伊利诺伊州罗斯蒙特举行的高性能复合材料现象共同性国际研讨会。本次研讨会的目的是考察我们在高性能复合材料的加工、微观结构和性能方面的理解状况。复合材料的种类多种多样：不同的基体材料、不同的增强体、不同形式的增强体(纤维、晶须、颗粒)、界面涂层、增强体在特定基体中的不同排列和分布等。尽管存在这些多样性，但涉及不同类型的复合材料的概念、过程、评价和表征方法有很多。在这一领域工作的不同复合材料(聚合物、金属、金属间化合物和陶瓷基复合材料)的研究人员将参加。讨论了不同类型复合材料中的共性现象，如基体组织的作用、界面、增韧机理和断裂行为。这些技术论文将经过同行评审并发表。复合材料作为结构件在各种工业部件中具有潜在的应用前景。它们的使用受到了高成本和加工困难的限制。这次会议及时报道了有关这些材料的最新研究。

This grant supports an international symposium on Commonalty of Phenomena in High Performance Composites at Rosemont, Illinois, October 2-6, 1994. The objective of this symposium is to examine the state of our understanding in processing, microstructure, and properties of high performance composites. Composite materials are very diverse: different matrix materials different reinforcements, different forms of reinforcements (fibers, whiskers, particles), interfacial coatings, different arrangements and distribution of reinforcements in a given matrix, etc. Notwithstanding such diversity, there is a myriad of concepts, processes, methodologies of evaluation and characterization that cut across different types of composites. Researchers working in this areas with different composites (polymeric, metallic, intermetallic and ceramic matrix composites will attend. Commonalty of phenomena in different types of composites, such as the role of the matrix microstructure, interface, toughening mechanisms, and fracture behavior are discussed. The technical papers will be peer-reviewed and published. Composite materials have potential applications as structural components in a wide variety of industrial components. Their use has been limited by high cost and processing difficulties. This conference provides timely coverage of the latest research concerning these materials.
