Abstract
A method for controlling the interface in a composite between the matrix material and reinforcing filaments or fibers in a composite structure which comprises the application of a patterned coating or combination of coatings on the reinforcing filaments or fibers to vary the bond between the reinforcement and the matrix. Proportioning of weak- and strong-bonded areas, their respective strengths, and design of bonding patterns can be tailored to the materials requirements of the composite. This method can be employed to prepare metal, ceramic and polymer matrix composites.
