The paper discusses a simple specimen geometry to obtain the fibre/cement interfacial shear strength (IFSS). The specimens are easy to prepare and easy to test. The technique gives reliable and reproducible results. IFSS results for five different fibres with cement were measured. Most IFSS values obtained are in the range of 0.15 to 1.5 MPa. Despite the simplicity of the technique presented in this study, the results are in agreement with those obtained by several other researchers using different techniques and specimen geometry.

Abstract Natural fibre–reinforced composites are more sustainable than other composites with respect to the raw materials. Their properties are attractive due to high specific properties, and especially so wherever high damping is valued. As the interphase between fibre and matrix is the region of highest stresses, a strong bond between fibre and matrix is essential for any composites’ properties. The present study compares two methods of determining the interfacial shear stress in natural fibre–reinforced composites: the single fibre fragmentation test and the single fibre pullout test. The studied composites are flax fibre reinforced epoxy. For a variety of fibre–matrix interaction, the fibres are treated with a laccase enzyme and dopamine, which is known to improve the fibre–matrix shear strength. In the observed samples, single fibre fragmentation test data, i.e. of fracture mode and fragment length, scatter when compared to pullout data. In single fibre pullout tests, the local interfacial shear strength showed a 30% increase in the laccase-treated samples, compared to the control samples. The method also permitted an evaluation of the frictional stress occurring after surface failure.

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Thermoplastics (CFRTP) are expected to be applied to the automotive industry instead of CFRP which require curing time, due to the expected short production cycle time of CFRTP, which is using thermoplastic as a matrix. We reported that the grafting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the carbon fibre improves the fibre matrix interfacial shear strength. In our process to graft CNTs on carbon fibre, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method was used and Ni, which was used as the catalyst, was electrically plated onto carbon fibres. Since commercially available carbon fibre was sized, which may affect the plating behaviour of Ni, the effects of sizing agents on CNT deposition have to be clarified. In this study, Ni for catalytic metal was plated by electrolytic plating using a watt bath on spread PAN-based carbon fibre and unsized carbon fibre, and the influence of the sizing agent to the distribution of Ni was evaluated. The morphological observation of carbon fibre and single fibre pull-out test were conducted to clarify the influence of sizing agent on the CNT deposition and the interfacial shear strength between the CNT grafted carbon fibre and Polyamide 6 (PA6). Uniform distribution of small sized Ni particles can be obtained on unsized carbon fibre and uniform Ni particles results in uniform CNT distribution. The CNT grafted unsized carbon fibre showed higher interfacial shear strength with PA6 than that of sized carbon fibre.

The BiAgX™ paste, designed for die attach application, composed of the majority of BiAg powders (melting point >260°C) and the minority of additive powders. The additive powders are dominating the interfacial reaction to improve the wetting of the paste on various commonly-used surface finish materials. After reflow, the joint shows the above 260°C remelting temperature. The average bond shear strength of BiAgX joint between SiC die and AMBC-SiN substrate (Package A) decreases from 54MPa to 16MPa with increasing temperature from RT to 250°C. Upon thermal storage at 200°C or 230°C for 3000hrs, the bond shear strength decreases from 54MPa to 38MPa and 21MPa, respectively. Upon thermal cycling from −55°C to 125°C for 2000cycles and thermal shock from −55°C to 150°C for 2000cycles, BiAgX outperforms Pb5Sn2.5Sn (Package B). BiAgX also show the better corrosion resistance than SAC305 and Pb5Sn2.5Ag under 96hrs salt water spray (SWS) tests.
