In Situ Micro‐ CT Study of the Effect of Fiber Content on Tensile Damage Evolution in Short Carbon Fiber‐Reinforced Polypropylene Composites
Short carbon fiber‐reinforced polypropylene (SCF/PP) composites with a fixed initial fiber length of 0.5 mm are investigated to determine how fiber content changes tensile damage pathways. Nominal SCF contents of 5, 15, and 30 wt% correspond to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) values of 4.6 ± 0.6, 14.2 ± 1.2, and 28....
