In this study we present the investigation of the influence of multiple sterilization processes on micromechanical properties carried out on a composite based on carbon fibers (CF) and polymer matrix composite polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The effect of widely-used steam sterilization process on fibers/matrix interphase region properties was studied by nanoindentation.

The effect of sterilization on the structural integrity of the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix composite reinforced with carbon fibers (CF) is investigated by nanoindentation test. We present the investigation of the influence of sterilization processes on fiber/matrix interphase properties. The effect of multiple widely-used steam sterilization processes on fibers/matrix interphase region properties was studied by modulus mapping test.
