Surface and Interfacial Influences on the Bulk Mechanical Responses of Composite Materials

Abstract

This report details the initial results for an effort investigating the relationship between a materials chemical and physical properties. Sylgard 184 and hollow glass beads of various sizes have been selected as the system of interest. Characterization methods are in development, including room temperature inverse gas chromatography of polymer composites, stress and strain curves of single bead inclusion with digital image correlation, and standard surface and mechanical testing methods. Additional research and results are included in the year two and final reports for this effort.
