Abstract

Journal of Composite Materials, Ahead of Print.
The interfacial performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) is critically determined by the fiber-matrix adhesion. Recent advances highlight that polyamine molecules, such as diethylenetriamine (DETA), with multiple active sites, can ...
