Abstract: In this study, epoxy resin was microencapsulated through in situ polymerization in an oilinwater emulsion, and amine was loaded into etched glass bubbles (GBs) as a curing agent for the microencapsulated epoxy resin. The ...

Abstract: The effects of wax lubricant filled microcapsule content on the tribological properties of epoxy composites without or with 8 wt.% short carbon fibers (SCFs) were systematically investigated. The core percentage of the ...

Abstract: For composite laminates, a rising R-curve is observed for their fracture toughness under Mode I stress, which is important for a comprehensive failure analysis of the materials. Since it is laborious to measure the R-curve ...
