Abstract

Interphase (or termed interface) is an important part of composites placed between the fibre and the matrix. This review highlights the role of the interface, the methods to modify interface and the purpose of modifying interface. This review also shows that modifying interface of composites does not only improve the mechanical properties but also enhance the functions of the composites. Composites with abilities such as shape memory capability and in situ monitoring can be produced through interface modification. The potential applications in the future are also discussed.
