Description:

(abstract)

The tensile properties and the Weibull statistical distributions of the tensile strength of poly-(para-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO), poly-(para-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA), copoly-(para-phenylene-3,4'-oxydiphenylene terephthalamide (PPODTA), polyarylate (PAR), and polyethylene (PE) polymeric fiber epoxy-impregnated bundle composites have been investigated. The results show that the Weibull modulus decreases as tensile modulus, strength, and inverse of the failure strain increase. The interfacial shear properties were also examined using the microdroplet composite. For the lower interfacial shear strength of polymeric fibers, the Weibull modulus de-creases as interfacial shear strength increase. Contrary, for the higher interfacial shear strength of polymeric fibers, the Weibull modulus increases as interfacial shear strength increase. Interestingly, these inflection points were also observed for the 20-30 MPa interfacial shear strength.
