Abstract:
Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are widely used in various industries, such as defense, aeronautics, aerospace, civil construction, and sporting goods. These structures often face high mechanical stress situations, such as dynamic and static loads in structural applications. Generally, the matrix-fiber interface plays a crucial role in the mechanical strength of composites. Issues such as inadequate adhesion between the fiber and the polymer matrix can reduce load transfer, resulting in lower mechanical performance of these materials. In recent years, numerous studies have focused on optimizing this interface to enhance the properties of composites, including fiber surface treatments, the use of coupling agents, and improvements in matrix chemistry [1]. This work aims to review some of these parameters, which can be controlled by engineers during the design phase to improve the performance of fiber-reinforced polymer composites according to their applications [2]. The review highlights recent progress made to overcome the mechanical limitations presented by this class of materials, focusing on improving strength through the optimization of the matrix-fiber interface, presenting an updated overview of the state of the art on the topic [3].
