Much of what we need to know abont the thermodynamics of composites has been described in the previous sections. For example, if the composite matrix is composed of a metal, ceramic, or polymer, its phase stability behavior will be dictated by the free energy considerations of the preceding sections. Unary, binary, ternary, and even higher-order phase diagrams can be employed as appropriate to describe the phase behavior of both the reinforcement or matrix component of the composite system. At this level of discussion on composites, there is really only one topic that needs some further elaboration a thermodynamic description of the interphase. As we did back in Chapter 1, we will reserve the term interphase for a phase consisting of three-dimensional structure (e.g., with a characteristic thickness) and will use the term interface for a two-dimensional surface. Once this topic has been addressed, we will briefly describe how composite phase diagrams differ from those of the metal, ceramic, and polymer constituents that we have studied so far.

By definition, brazes have a different composition from the components they are used to join and hence interdiffusion will occur during and after interface creation. Reference has been made already to the detrimental effects of the growth of thick reaction products at metal-ceramic interfaces and similar effects can occur with metal-metal systems. Thus it is not good practice to use A1 brazes for the joining of steel or Cu components or to use Ni brazes containing Si for the joining of refractory metal components because of the rapid formation of fragile layers of intermetallic compounds. 

The 1-D concentric cylinder models described above have been extended to fiber-reinforced ceramics by Kervadec and Chermant,28,29 Adami,30 and Wu and Holmes 31 these analyses are similar in basic concept to the previous modeling efforts for metal matrix composites, but they incorporate the time-dependent nature of both fiber and matrix creep and, in some cases, interface creep. Further extension of the 1-D model to multiaxial stress states was made by Meyer et a/.,32-34 Wang et al.,35 and Wang and Chou.36 In the work by Meyer et al., 1-D fiber-composites under off-axis loading (with the loading direction at an angle to fiber axis) were analyzed with the... 

The basic requirement in biosensor development is ascribed to the successful attachment of the recognition material, a process governed by various interactions between the biological component and the sensor interface. Advanced immobilization technologies capable of depositing biologically active material onto or in close proximity of the transducer surface have been reported. In this context, the choice of a biocompatible electrode material is essential. The material surfaces (support) include almost all material tjrpes metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and carbon materials [8]. In most cases, when a native material does not meet all the requirements for...
