Interfacial interaction of carbon fiber/PEEK and its effect on the mechanical performance

An in-depth survey of the researches is presented on the anisotropic structure and properties of interphase in carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone composites. The formation and structural nature of interfacial shortrange and long-range effects, micromechanical and macromechanical roles of interphase are discussed. Besides,prospects of further studies and a novel methodology for revealing interfacial properties of thermoplastic composites are demonstrated
