INTERFACE TAILORING FOR STRAIN-HARDENING POLYVINYL ALCOHOL-ENGINEERED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITE (PVA-ECC)

This paper presents the development of the PVA-ECC in the context of material design under the guidance of micromechanical tools. Specifically, this work illustrates how the fiber/matrix interface may be engineered to accommodate the requirements imposed by the micromechanical models, thus highlighting the importance of interface tailoring on the composite performance. This micromechanics-based material design approach is broadly applicable to achieving high-performance composites with low fiber content for cost-effective structural applications.
