The microstructure and fracture performance of an anhydride-cured epoxy polymer modified with two poly(styrene)-b-1,4-poly(butadiene)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (SBM) block copolymers were investigated in bulk form, when used as the matrix material carbon fibre reinforced composites. 'E21' SBM copolymer has a higher butadiene content molecular weight than 'E41'. A network aggregated spherical micelles was observed for E21 epoxy, which became increasingly interconnected increased. steady...
A finite volume based implementation of the binary Cahn–Hilliard equation was implemented using an open source library, OpenFOAM. This used to investigate development droplet and co-continuous polymer microstructures. It shown that initial concentrations each phase define final form resultant microstructure, either droplet, transition or co-continuous. Furthermore, mechanical deformation response representative microstructures were investigated under both uniaxial triaxial loading...
