Abstract
This papers examines the interfacial fracture properties of a new fibre-metal laminate based on glass fibre reinforced polypropylene (GFPP). Tests have shown that excellent adhesion between aluminium and GFPP can be achieved by incorporating a maleic-anhydride modified polypropylene interlayer between the composite and aluminium layers. Single cantilever beam tests have shown that the fracture energy of these systems initially increases with loading rate and then decreasing. In spite of this, the fracture energy is extremely high at all rates.
