📢Microscopic Mondays!📢
Have a look at this knotted aramid fiber! What is going on?
The anisotropic behavior of aramid fiber can be revealed in a vivid manner through SEM micrographs like this one: Note the buckling or kink marks on the compressive side... Meanwhile, the tensile side is smooth!
Such markings on the aramid fiber surface have also been reported when the aramid fiber is subjected to uniform compression or torsion!
Do you know why this happens? Let us know in the comments!
