This paper presents a literature survey on the theoretical backgrounds and the past research
efforts in relation to the interactions between certain thermoplastics and epoxies, and their …

The primary objective of this study is to determine the interphase behaviour of a thermoset
epoxy resin that is commercially used for carbon fibre–reinforced composite materials in …

This paper investigates welding of carbon/epoxy and carbon/PEEK composites using the
following procedure. Firstly, the carbon/epoxy composite was made “weldable” through a …

In ultrasonic welding of thermoplastic composites an energy director (ED)(ie neat
thermoplastic film), is used between the two adherends to be welded, to promote frictional …

The approach for joining thermosetting matrix composites (TSCs) proposed in this study is
based on the use of a low melting co-cured thermoplastic film, added as a last ply in the …

We explore the influence of the interdiffusion of two thermoplastic tougheners and RTM6
epoxy resin precursors on the resulting morphologies after curing and the consequences on …

Ultrasonic welding is a highly promising technique for joining thermoplastic to thermoset
composites. A neat thermoplastic coupling layer is co-cured on the surface to be welded to …

Carbon fibre/epoxy composite joints were assembled with Poly-etherether-ketone (PEEK)
and Poly-ethylenimine (PEI) films using a co-curing process to prepare single-lap joint …

Solid-state NMR methods were used to characterize the heterogeneous dynamics,
miscibility, and microdomain structure in nanostructured thermoset blends of epoxy resin …

This study focuses on investigating thermoplastic polymers and their interphase behaviour
with the fast-curing epoxy system Araldite LY3585/Aradur 3475. The three compatible …
