Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate how interface shear strength of silicone and carbon fiber tow changes by mixing three different types of additives into silicone. As the interest on polymer matrix composites has been rising in last decades in a certain manner in many fields like defense, aerospace and sports, understanding and improving the characteristics of these materials arouses interest. This work focused on the behavior of silicone matrix. As the silicone’s viscosity is higher than many other resins, it’s wetting ability is not enough to penetrate through the tows of reinforcing fabrics. Various additives can be utilized to decrease the viscosity whereas the effects of these additives on the fiber-matrix interface shear strength are not well-known. Fiber pull-out testing was designed to see how the apparent interfacial shear strength changes via changing the additive.
