Research Highlight

The kinetic theory is often used to evaluate the long-term performance of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. However, the fundamental deterioration mechanism of the fibre-matrix interfaces, which may change significantly with temperature, has not been rigorously examined. This paper presents a study to address this deficiency of existing studies using reactive force field molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

Introduction
