The need for improved performance and the development of new composite manufacturing methods require a better understanding of the role of interface phenomena in the mechanical behaviour of these materials. The influence of the cure cycle on the bulk and surface properties of the matrix resin, and of composites based on polyester and epoxy resins reinforced with glass fibres has been studied. While the mechanical properties of the epoxy vary with cure temperature the surface tension is not affected. The increase in interfacial shear strength and interlaminar shear strength with increased cure temperature cannot be simply explained by the wetting of the fibres by the matrix. The importance of thermal stresses, generated at the interface by resin shrinkage and differences in thermal expansion, for the mechanical behaviour of the composite are demonstrated.
