Abstract
An applied interphase, between matrix resin and fibers in continuous f iber composites, resulted in a significant improvement in composite im pact strength and fracture toughness concurrently with a moderate impr ovement or unchanged interlaminar shear strength. The temperature resi stance of tailored interphases and composites was high. An optimum thi ckness was observed. The merits of such interphases and a novel means of application are discussed.
