ABSTRACT
The study and application of composite materials are a truly interdisciplinary endeavor that
has been enriched by contributions from chemistry, physics, materials science, mechanics and
manufacturing cnginecring. The understanding of the interface (or interphase) in composites isthe central point of this interdisciplinary effort.
From the early development of composite materials of various natures, the optimization of theinterface has been of major importance.
The central theme of this paper is tailoring the interface properties to optimize the mechanical
performance and structural integrity of composites with enhanced strength/stiffness and fracturetoughness (or specific fracture resistance). t deals mainly with interfaces in advanced
composites made from high performance fibers, such as glass, carbon, aramid, ultrahigh modulus
polyethylene and some inorganic
The paper contains discussions on microstructure!property, nature and definition of interfaces
in fiber reinforced composites, mechanical behaviour of fibre reinforced plastics, and
applications of fibre reinforced plastics in civil engineering

1. INTRODUCTION
"omposite materials have been used since biblical times when chopped straw was added in
bric#s to ma#e building materials. The modern composite materials age began with the
introduction of particular fibrous reinforcement materials into thermosets phenollics in $%&&'s.
The first * was made in $%+. einforcement thermoplastic were virtually non!e-istent in
early $%&'s but by $%%&'s reinforcement thermoplastic represented about one fourth of the total
reinforced plastics composite materials.
0cientists have started mi-ing materials with different properties in new way so as to ma#e
new materials which have good properties of the constituent's materials without having the
inherent, wea#ness or disadvantages of the individual materials. These new materials are called
as composite materials. "omposite materials are made by the combining two or more than two
dissimilar materials. 1 selected fillers or reinforcing agents compatible matri- binder.(i.e.
esin) are combine in such a way that the resulting composite materials possess superior
properties which are not obtained with single constituent materials.
2ou may understand the nature of composite material by simply ta#ing e-ample of day to day
life such as concrete slab of our house. t is the most common composite material in our day to
day life. t consist of cement concrete and iron bars. The cement gives protection to the iron bars,
from adverse environmental condition iron bars gives the strength, fle-ibility stiffness to
structure. The idea and principle is e-actly applied in thermoplastic composites.
2. COMPOSITE MATERIALS "omposite materials are formed by the combination of two or more materials that retain their
respective characteristics when combined together to achieve properties that are superior to those
of individual constituents. n generic terms, the idea of a composite is analogous to that of
reinforced concrete. 3owever, composites present immense opportunities for tailoring of the
material to the specific re4uirements of the structure.

3. CONSTITUENTS OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS
The composite materials are made up of constituent materials which are grouped as

3.1. MATRIX: -
The main components of composites are reinforcing agents and matri-. The fibres,
particulates and whis#ers act as the reinforcement and provide most of the stiffness and strength.
The matri- binds the reinforcement together thus effecting the load transfer from matri- toreinforcement and adds to the performance merits of the material
Definition< The phases that receive the inserts in phase composition is continuous phase is
called as matri-. t is also called as binders. The matri- material employed for fabrication of
composites material are usually polymer commonly called as esin.
Funtion!< The function of matri- or binders are as follows.a) t gives mouldability or shape to composite.
b) t ma#es the composite materials generally resistance to adverse environment.
c) t also protects the reinforcement from adverse environments.
T"#e! -The materials used for the matri- are plastic, rubbers, ceramic metals. *lastic
matri- based composite materials now constitute more than %= of all composite materials in
use today. :oth Thermoplastic Thermosetting materials are used as matri- materials.
3.2. REINFORCEMENT: -
These are materials which basically give strength, stiffness other mechanical properties tocomposite materials. Fibres are the principle constituents in fibre reinforcement composite
materials.
Definition!: -t is materials which give strength, stiffness other mechanical properties to
composite materials.
Funtion: -The reinforcement are used to improve the structural characteristics of materials.
They can be continuous in form of fibre, filament or discontinuous in forms of (whis#ers, fla#e
or particular). The reinforcement increases the ratio of strength to density stiffness to density.

norganic or organic fibers such as carbon, glass, aramides etc have been widely used with
plastic mainly to improve mechanical strengths tensile modulus.
3.$. FIBER-MATRIX INTERP%ASE
The interphase between the fibre matri- can be easily identified> it is the behavior prop of
interphase that generally control the prop of the composite. The prop. of composite cannot
achieved by any of the components acting alone.
The main role of interphase is to transmit distribute stress on matri- to the fibres in desire
orientation.
;ocalised stresses are generally highest near the interphase which may be locus of premature
feature of composite. The interphase must have appropriate character in order to providenecessary load transfer from matri- to reinforcements.
3ence there should be strong adhesion forces between matri- fibre through interphase. This
can also be achieved by coupling agents.
"oupling agents are define as materials that improve the adhesion bonds of dissimilar
surfaces. "oupling agents modify the interphase region to strengthen the organic inorganic
boundary layers by a much positive attempt to increase the adhesion between polymer fibre
was lin# them by covalent bond using coupling agents. 7g < Titonates, 0ilanes.
3.&. FILLERS ' ADDITI(ES
Fillers should be inert their presence in a polymeric matri- should not affect the processing polymerization. Fillers are added is polymeric matri- for following reasons?
1. educe cost 2.ncrease stiffness. 3.educe mold shrin#age. $. "ontrol viscosity.
&.*roduce smooth surface.
$. T)PES OF COMPOSITES
The three most important re4uirements for materials which are to be used in highly
demanding applications are a high resistance to plastic deformations, resistance to fracture and
elastic stiffness. Fibre reinforced composites can be further divided into those containing
discontinuous or continuous fibres. Today, the most common man made composites can be
divided into three main groups?
