Nanoscopic crack initiation and propagation in CFRP under applied stress was observed in-situ using X-ray microscopy with synchrotron radiation. It was shown that (a) de-bonding along the carbon fiber/plastic interfaces and (b) cracking within plastic are competing and the features are largely location-dependent.
