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

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

Strain Rate Effects in the Single Fiber Fragmentation Test for Fiber Matrix Adhesion

August 1, 1999
Author(s)
Donald L. Hunston, Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson, Walter G. McDonough
In this paper, precise measurements of fiber break regions formed during the single fiber fragmentation testing procedure have been made for E-glass/diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/meta-phenylenediamine (m-PDA) single fiber fragmentation test (SFFT

Interface Adhesion of E-Glass Fibers in Model Polyisocyanurate Networks

September 23, 1998
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson
Recent work examining the nature of the failure process of glass/epoxy specimens in the single fiber fragmentation test showed that the matrix exhibited pronounced non-linear viscoelastic behavior during the test, and that the interfacial shear strength

Multiple Fiber Technique for the Single Fiber Fragmentation Test

March 1, 1998
Author(s)
Chang K. Moon, Walter G. McDonough
The single fiber fragmentation test has been modified by embedding multiple fibers into matrix resin. During testing, we examined the interfacial shear strengths between the fibers and the matrix. In addition, the time-dependent nature of the fragmentation

Evaluation of Dental Adhesion and Durability by Means of the Microbond Test

February 25, 1998
Author(s)
Joseph M. Antonucci, Walter G. McDonough, Joy P. Dunkers
The phenomenon of interfacial of interphase adhesion is a critical factor in determining the strength and durability of multiphase dental materials. For example, the clinical performance of acrylic polymer based dental composites depends to a large extent

The Influence of the matrix Modulus on the interfacial Shear Strength Parameter

February 25, 1998
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson, Donald L. Hunston, Walter G. McDonough
In composite structures, adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface is typically determined indirectly from experimental data and theoretical models. These models make varying assumptions about the fiber, matrix, and fragmentation process. Therefore, the

Workshop on Micromechanics Measurement Technologies for Fiber-Polymer Interfaces

May 1, 1997
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas, Gale A. Holmes, Donald L. Hunston
The Polymers Division hosted the Workshop on Micromechanics Measurement Technologies for Fiber-Polymer Interfaces, jointly sponsored by NIST and the Textile Research Institute of Princeton, NJ, on May 28-30, 1997. Fifty researchers from industry, academia
