WHISKER-MATRIX BONDING AND INTERACTION.
Abstract
One of the major barriers to the development of new and improved whisker- and fiber-reinforced composites is lack of understanding and control of the interfacial bond between fiber and matrix. This bond must be strong enough for load transfer from matrix to fiber and stable enough so that neither the fiber nor matrix are adversely affected by the bonding mechanism. This monograph reviews and discusses the factors affecting whisker-matrix wetting, bonding, and interaction, with particular emphasis on Al2O3 and SiC whiskers in metal. (Author)
