Which mechanism minimizes fracture risk in fiber-reinforced polymer composites under tensile stress?

💡 Explanation

When tensile stress is applied, stress transfer via interfacial bonding between the fiber and polymer matrix allows distributing the applied load, preventing stress concentration and crack propagation from micro-flaws. Therefore stress transfer minimizes fracture risk, rather than thermal matching, chain alignment, or void removal which address other failure types.
