Request a sales quoteInterfacial Phenomena in Composite Materials '91 is a collection of papers dealing with the science of composite interfaces, with emphasis on theoretical modeling, test methods, and characterization methods of polymer matrix, metal, or ceramic matrix composites. One paper reviews the micromechanical test methods used in evaluating mechanical properties of fiber-matrix interface. Another paper shows that the critical fiber length cannot always be considered a material constant in the framework of load transfer models based on the shear lag theory. Microwave plasma treatment is a quick technology to change fiber surface structure as the oxidation or the roughening of the fiber increases fiber-matrix adhesion. Another paper evaluates the effect of improved adhesion on mechanical performance under static, dynamic, and impact conditions. It also examines the role of fiber anisotropy on the performance of high performance polyethylene/epoxy composites. By using the Laser Raman Spectroscopy, the investigator can analyze the effects of the fiber surface treatment, the fiber modulus, the curing temperature on the Shear strength, and the fracture mechanics of the interface. The collection can be read profitably by chemists, biochemists, and academicians involved in material compound research.

Ignaas Verpoest
Prof. Ignaas VERPOEST received his master’s degree (1972) and PhD (1982) in Materials Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. As a full professor (from 1990 until 2013) he was guiding a group which consisted of (average 2008-2013) 8 postdoc researchers and 25 PhD-students carrying out research on the meso-mechanics of (textile-based) composites, nano-engineered composites, natural fibre-reinforced (bio)polymers and advanced production methods for composites.
Since September 2013, he has been an emeritus professor at the KU Leuven. He continues to be involved in research projects on carbon fibre and natural fibre-reinforced composites and has a special interest in “the history of composites”, and the relationship between composites and design(ers). Over the past few years, he has organized several exhibitions on “composites and design(ers)” at the Design Museum in Gent and has collaborated with JEC-World (Paris) for several exhibitions on the history of composites.
Prof. Verpoest was holder of the Toray Chair in Composite Materials at the KU Leuven and is Chairman of the European Scientific Committee of CELC, the European Confederation on Flax and Hemp.
He was President of the European Society for Composite Materials (ESCM), and the International Committee on Composite Materials (ICCM).
