“…This scenario may change in the near future because molecular selfassembly may turn into a further tool of interphase engineering. In a very recent work, Liu et al [103] concluded that a self-assembled network of nucleating agent caused the transcrystallization of PP on PLLA fiber. Note that transcrystallization, and especially the structure of the transcrystalline layer, are key parameters for the successfull preparation of semicrystalline single polymer composites [104].…”

This review summarizes the recent (from year 2000) advancements in the interphase tailoring of fiber-reinforced polymer composites. The scientific and technological achievements are classified on the basis of the selected strategies distinguishing between i) interphase tailoring via sizing/coating on fibers, ii) creation of hierarchical fibers by nanostructures, iii) fiber surface modifications by polymer deposition and iv) potential effects of matrix modifications on the interphase formation. Special attention was paid to report on efforts dedicated to the creation on (multi)functional interphase in polymer composites. This review is round up by listing current trends in the characterization and modelling of the interphase. In the final outlook, future opportunities and challenges in the engineering of fiber/matrix interphase are summarized.

“…6 Recently, inspired by the geometrical feature of tree root with mechanical interlocking effect with the surrounding soil which is pulled out difficultly, some branched reinforcing ber were designed to improve the interfacial interaction. [7][8][9] Depending on the density, dimension and alignment of the branched ber as well as its compatibility with polymer, the interfacial shear strength of the branched ber reinforced polymer composites can increase by 10-150%. [10][11][12][13] Tamrakar adopted electrophoretic deposition method to achieve the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of glass bers (GF) and obtained CNTs-g-GF/epoxy composites with 58% increase in interfacial shear strength (IFSS).…”
