Aims & Scope

Composite Interfaces publishes interdisciplinary scientific and engineering research articles on composite interfaces/interphases and their related phenomena. Presenting new concepts for the fundamental understanding of composite interface study, the journal balances interest in chemistry, physical properties, mechanical properties, molecular structures, characterization techniques and theories. Composite Interfaces covers a wide range of topics including - but not restricted to: -surface treatment of reinforcing fibers and fillers- effect of interface structure on mechanical properties, physical properties, curing and rheology- coupling agents- synthesis of matrices designed to promote adhesion- molecular and atomic characterization of interfaces- interfacial morphology- dynamic mechanical study of interphases- interfacial compatibilization- adsorption- tribology- composites with organic, inorganic and metallic materials- composites applied to aerospace, automotive, appliances, electronics, construction, marine, optical and biomedical fields
