In transmission electron microscopy examinations of cast Al matrix-SiC particulate composites, it was noted that a coating of Al4C3 had been formed in contact with some SiC particles. The observed epitaxial orientation relationships at the SiC/Al4C3 interface and between the carbides and interfacial Al formed by Al4C3 decomposition are described. The lattice matching between SiC, Al4C3, and reprecipitated Al particles may result in strong bonding and thus permit crack propagation across such interfaces, contributing to the detrimental effects on fracture and fatigue associated with the presence of Al4C3 in aluminum-silicon carbide composites,

Pitch-based carbon fiber surfaces were modified using a nickel-catalyzed, dry oxygen etch (NCDO) and a dry oxygen etch (DO), both of which were applied using a continuous process. The treatments differed in that DCDO produced preferential pitting on fiber surfaces at nickel particle sites. Tensile strengths of all etched fibers were slightly lower than values for untreated, or ''as received'' (AR), fibers. Reductions in tensile strength were independent of the type of treatment administered, indicating that most degradation resulted from damage produced by the mechanics of the continuous process, not the etching treatments. Fiber-matrix interfacial shea. strengths (IFSS) of AR and etched fibers were evaluated using the Microbond test At first glance, Microbond test data indicated that NCDO produced large increases in IFSS. However, inconsistencies in the data raised questions regarding the validity and usefulness of the Microbond test when applied to this system. Only after detailed analysis of the data for this series of fibers was it concluded that NCDO did indeed produce an increase in IFSS over AR fibers and DO fibers.

The CO2 permeability of uniaxially drawn high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated and drastic changes were observed as a function of draw ratio. An estimation of variations in both density and fractional free volume of the amorphous component in the drawn polymers was made on the basis of experimental data. The dramatic variations in permeability resulting from drawing were shown to be the consequence of changes of fractional free volume in the amorphous phase of the drawn polymer. Good correlation exists between measured solubility and diffusion coefficients of drawn samples and the estimated fractional free volume;this correlation agrees with the existing free volume theory for diffusion in polymers.
