  Interfacial Bonding and Performance of Polymer-Based CFRP Composites in Externally Applied Configurations

  By A. Avaneesh Pushpasai, M. HemaPriya, A. Arivumangai, J. Faney

  Abstract: Polymer-based carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used for externally bonded strengthening and retrofitting applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and adaptability to existing structures. In such systems, overall performance is governed not only by the fiber–matrix interaction within the laminate, but more critically by the polymer adhesive layer and its interaction with the substrate. Polymer chemistry, interfacial bonding mechanisms, processing conditions, and environmental exposure collectively influence …
