Polymer matrix systems with nanoscale self-assembled toughening interfaces

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

Due to their ease of processing, epoxy thermoset systems are commonly found has matrix system for carbon fibre reinforced polymers, however, such system are inherently brittle. A novel approach would allow to considerably increase the fracture toughness through self-assembling toughening interfaces at the nanometer scale, without processing drawbacks know from common toughening methods.
