Extensive ranges of interfacial properties exist for different composite systems, measured with various interface characterisation techniques. However, the discrepancies in interfacial properties of similar fibre–matrix systems have not been fully addressed or explained. In this review, first, the interface-forming mechanisms of FRPs are established. Following a discourse on three primary factors that affect the fibre–matrix interface, the four main interface characterisation methods (single-fibre fragmentation, single-fibre pull-out, microbond and fibre push-in/-out tests) are described and critically reviewed. These sections review various detailed data reduction schemes, numerical approaches, accompanying challenges and sources of reported scatter. Finally, following the assessment of several infrequent test methods, comprehensive conclusions, prospective directions and intriguing extensions to the field are provided.KEYWORDS: Carbon fibreglass fibreepoxythermoplasticinterface characterisationinterfacial shear strengthinterfacial fracture toughnessinterfacial friction coefficient Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).List of abbreviations and symbols45FBT=45° fibre bundle tensile testAE=Acoustic emissionAFM=Atomic force microscopyANN=Artificial neural networkBAM=Federal institute for materials research and testingBEM=Boundary element methodCF=Carbon fibreCFRP=Carbon fibre-reinforced polymerCKT=Cottrell–Kelly–Tyson modelCMC=Ceramic matrix compositesCNT=Carbon nanotubesCT=Computed tomographyCTE=Coefficient of thermal expansionCZM=Cohesive zone modelDEM=Discrete element methodEPZ=Embedded process zone modelFBG=Fibre Bragg gratingFE(M)=Finite element (method)FRP=Fibre-reinforced polymerGF=Glass fibreGFRP=Glass fibre-reinforced polymerHM=High modulus carbon fibreIFFT=Interfacial fracture toughnessIFNS=Interfacial normal (radial) strengthIFSS=Interfacial shear strengthIFSSapp=Apparent interfacial shear strengthILSS=Interlaminar shear strengthIMD=Intermediate modulusLRS=Laser Raman spectroscopyMB (MBT)=Microbond testMFFT=Multi-fibre fragmentation testMRS=Micro-Raman spectroscopyPA=PolyamidePC=PolycarbonatePEEK=Polyether ether ketonePEI=PolyetherimidePP=PolypropylenePPS=Polyphenylene sulphideSCF=Stress (or strain) concentration factorSEM=Scanning electron microscopySERR=Strain energy release rateSFFT=Single-fibre fragmentation testSLM=Shear-lag modelTFBT=Transverse fibre bundle tensile testTP=ThermoplasticAemb=Embedded areaa=Crack lengthbi=Interface effective thicknessda=Change in crack lengthdC=Change in compliancedf=Fibre diameterdU=Energy summation proposed by Marshall and OliverdUe=Change of the elastic energy inside the fibredUf=Work of friction in the interfacedUGi=Debonding energy associated with the new debonded areadUl=Potential energy of the loading systemdUm=","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"86 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135432185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reviews emerging studies of LBAM-fabricated SMCs, starting from the methods of feedstock preparation including respective merits and challenges. The mechanisms of phase transformation, grain growth and texture development of the steel matrix, as well as the precipitation of reinforcements during rapid solidification inherent to LBAM are demonstrated. Microstructural features of SMCs with different matrix (austenitic, martensitic, duplex and ferritic) and reinforcement types are discussed. The interrelationship between the composition and physical properties of the composite powder, microstructures and mechanical properties of SMCs are disclosed and the involved strengthening mechanisms are discussed.

Representative volume elements (RVE) and statistically equivalent representative volume elements (SERVE) have emerged as frameworks for such microstructural characterisation and quantification.

Ceramics and associated (nano)composites are widely investigated as EMW absorbing materials because of their excellent mechanical properties, chemical/thermal stabilities, and oxidation/corrosion resistance. In addition to outstanding EMW absorbing performance, lightweight, flexibility and thermal resistance at high temperatures strongly affect their practical applications. Therefore, this review highlights the recent progress of advanced ceramic-based EMW absorbing materials by evaluating their vital EMW absorption parameters. First, the fundamentals of EMW absorption are briefly summarized, followed by the effects of phase/chemical composition, micro/nano structure, and morphology on the EMW absorbing performance and associated mechanisms. Furthermore, modern strategies for the preparation of lightweight, flexible and thermal resistant EMW absorbing materials are comprehensively reviewed.

Monofrax® K-3, a high Cr2O3 fused cast refractory material, has been widely used to build the liners of nuclear waste glass melters in the United States. Corrosion behaviour of Monofrax® K-3 refractory has been evaluated based on crucible-scale testing, inspection of the refractory components following scaled melter testing, and inspections of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) melter refractory after service. The literature generally consists of empirical models based on short-term testing to describe refractory corrosion dependence on glass composition. Corrosion data from tests with longer testing times, at various temperatures, in the presence of molten salts, and with different redox reactions in the plenum atmosphere exist, may be insufficient to provide accurate refractory service life estimates. Additionally, the corrosion data collected under actual and scaled melter operating conditions are limited. Recommendations to achieve more direct correlation between the laboratory refractory corrosion data predictions and the observed melter service life are discussed to allow for more accurate predictions of the useful life of melter refractory linings.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49191817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, understanding and tailoring the mechanical performance of thermoelectric modules and devices is crucial for their long-term use, as they are subjected to spatially-complex and time-varying thermomechanical stresses – both internal and external – which may lead to plastic, fatigue and/or creep deformation. This leads to changes in thermoelectric performance, dimensions (via strain accumulation) and mechanical integrity (via crack and pore formation, leading to failure). This review addresses the current understanding of various modes of stress-induced deformation that can take place during extended operation of thermoelectric materials and their impact on the strain (elastic, plastic, and creep), and the associated damage (bloating, fatigue, and fracture). Finally, some new areas of research straddling mechanical and thermoelectric behaviour are identified.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45555028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
