U.S.-German Cooperative Research on In-Situ Studies of Micormechanisms of Delamination in Novel Laminated Composites with Nanoreinforeced Interfaces

PI和大学的Klaus Friedrich合作的目标是 KaiserSchmidt的任务是研究新型层合板中分层的微观机制， 具有纳米增强界面的化合物。 一种纳米纤维垫， 使用静电处理来抑制分层和微裂纹扩展。 的 层间断裂将通过最先进的声发射分析和原位扫描电子显微镜来研究。 PI的小组将生产层压复合材料 与纳米增强界面，进行声发射研究，并推导出理论 裂纹扩展的描述。 凯撒大帝集团将进行微观结构 和材料的热机械特性，进行原位实验， 扫描电子显微镜室，并进行断口实验。

The goal of this collaboration between the PI and Klaus Friedrich of the Universitªt Kaiserslautern is to study micromechanisms of delamination in novel laminated compounds with nanoreinforced interfaces. A mat of nanofibers produced by electrospnning is used to suppress delamination and microcrack propagation. The interlaminar fracturing will be studied by state-of-the-art acoustic emission analysis and in- situ scanning electron microscopy. The PI's group will manufacture laminated composites with nanoreinforced interfaces, perform acoustic emission studies, and derive theoretical descriptions of crack propagation. The Kaiserslautern group will conduct microstructural and thermomechanical characterization of materials, perform in situ experiments in a scanning electron microscope chamber, and conduct fractographic experiments.
