Standard fiber-reinforced polymer composites often suffer from poor ductility or structural failure during secondary shaping processes. Improving the ability to undergo heat-induced deformation without compromising structural integrity allows for complex geometry manufacturing.

Inadequate interfacial bonding between composite layers leads to structural delamination. Improving surface properties prevents mechanical separation under stress.

Weak bonding between metallic and polymeric layers leads to structural failure. Improving adhesion prevents mechanical separation under stress.
