IFSS-LEX - measure the debonding force of micro-droplets on single fibres and filaments

Feature / Specification:

• To measure the debonding force of micro-droplets on a single filaments and fibres.
• IFSS is an interchangeable module for the LEX820 High Resolution Extensometer Tester.
• Extension range: 3 - 53mm
• Speed range: 0.01 to 2.6mm/s
• Force range: 0 to 2.5N or 0 to 20N
• Force resolution: 0.05mN (2.5N) or 0.5mN (20N)
• Displacement resolution: 1μm
• Displacement accuracy: 50μm
• Load cell linearity: ±0.1% full scale
• Sample size: 4 to 30mm
• Computerized system with UvWin software on Windows 10 and 11.

Application:

• This IFSS measurement is based on the universally recognized micro-bond method to evaluate the interfacial properties of a variety of matrix resins and epoxies on fibers and filaments commonly used in composite materials. The IFSS method can be applied to various fibre and filament types: glass, carbon, ceramic, aramid, basalt or natural fibres.
