Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between particle and matrix in particulate polymer composites is a critical property in determining the mechanical behaviors since it is directly related to not only their Young’s modulus or specific strength, but also energy absorbing capability. However, the conventional techniques often present a technical challenge to accurately measure the IFSS between fillers and matrix in the composites. This is more apparent in graphene particulate composites due to their nano-scale dimensions as well as the platelet-shaped geometry. Here, the focus of this study is to use a semi-empirical approach to determine the IFSS of graphene particulate composites by combining experiments with finite element (FE) modeling. The materials of interest are reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and polycarbonate (PC). The tensile testing was performed to characterize the mechanical properties, while simultaneously monitoring the acoustic emission events in order to measure the global debonding stress (GDS) in the composites. By coupling thermal stress analysis and deformation analysis with the GDS as input to a FE model, the IFSS of the RGO particulate PC composites was successfully estimated by about 136 MPa, avoiding unnecessary assumptions and uncertainties which are seem to be inevitable with the conventional techniques for the IFSS measurement. |
