SEM/XPS analysis of fractured adhesively bonded graphite fibre surface resin-rich/graphite fibre composites

Devilbiss, T. A.; Wightman, J. P.; Progar, D. J.

Samples of graphite fiber-reinforced polyimide were fabricated allowing the resin to accumulate at the composite surface. These surface resin-rich composites were then bonded together and tested for lap shear strength both before and after thermal aging. Lap shear strength did not appear to show a significant improvement over that previously recorded for resin-poor samples and was shown to decrease with increasing aging time and temperature.
