Description: Our continuing quest to improve the performance of polymer composites under
moist and saltwater environments has gained momentum in recent years with the
reinforcement of inorganic nanoparticles into the polymer. The key to mitigate degradation
of composites under such environments is to maintain the integrity of the fiber/matrix
(F/M) interface. In this study, the F/M interface of carbon/… more
