Abstract

This chapter discusses about the surface preparation methods of fibres prior to use in composite materials to improve their performance or to introduce other essential characteristics. Chemical coatings, plasma and chemical surface modification techniques as well as mechanical treatments are presented. Also, advanced surface tailoring using nano-coating technology is included in this chapter.
