Abstract

The cover image by Takayuki Hirai, Yoshimi Muraoka, and Hirotaka Okamoto shows transparent composites achieved by refractive index matching between glass fiber textiles and polymer blends of polycarbonate (PC) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The PC/PCL blend shows good transparency due to its miscibility, and refractive index matching between glass fiber and PC/PCL blend can be achieved by optimizing a composition ratio of PC and PCL. The transparent composite was obtained by impregnating the refractive index adjusted PC/PCL into a woven glass fiber. The composite shows optical transparency and excellent mechanical properties.
