Heterogeneity of discontinuous carbon fibre composites: damage initiation captured by Digital Image Correlation (2014)
Journal Article
Johanson, K., Harper, L., Johnson, M. S., & Warrior, N. (2015). Heterogeneity of discontinuous carbon fibre composites: damage initiation captured by Digital Image Correlation. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 68, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2014.10.014

This paper aims to identify architectural features which lead to damage initiation and failure in discontinuous carbon fibre composites formed from randomly orientated bundles. A novel multi-camera digital image correlation system was used to simulta...

Mechanical, degradation and cytocompatibility properties of magnesium coated phosphate glass fibre reinforced polycaprolactone composites (2014)
Journal Article
Liu, X., Hasan, M. S., Grant, D. M., Harper, L. T., Parsons, A. J., Palmer, G., …Ahmed, I. (2014). Mechanical, degradation and cytocompatibility properties of magnesium coated phosphate glass fibre reinforced polycaprolactone composites. Journal of Biomaterials Applications, 29(5), https://doi.org/10.1177/0885328214541302

Retention of mechanical properties of phosphate glass fibre reinforced degradable polyesters such as polycaprolactone and polylactic acid in aqueous media has been shown to be strongly influenced by the integrity of the fibre/polymer interface. A pre... Read More about Mechanical, degradation and cytocompatibility properties of magnesium coated phosphate glass fibre reinforced polycaprolactone composites.
