Quality Control and Nondestructive Evaluation Techniques for Composites. Part 2. Physiochemical Characterization Techniques - A State-of-the Art Review

Abstract

The physical, chemical, and ultimate mechanical properties of high performance glass fiber-reinforced composites are dependent on the degree of cure and structure of epoxy matrices. Therefore, a knowledge of the properties of composites to the extent of the reaction and optimizing the performance. Several methods have been developed to characterize and differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric analysis, and dynamical process during or after the fabrication of the cured epoxy matrices to justify reproducibility, reliability, and durability. In general, a combination of these methods are powerful techniques to analyze and control the quality of epoxy matrices in fiber- reinforced composites. The sensitivity, advantages, and selectivity of these techniques will be reviewed and discussed in this report.
