1. Definition and structure of the reinforcement/matrix bond
1.1 Sizing and surface treatments
The reinforcements used to make up composite materials (mainly glass and carbon, and more recently natural reinforcements) generally undergo surface modifications after manufacture (sizing and surface treatments), which play an essential role in creating the reinforcement/matrix bond (or interface).
For further information on the manufacture, sizing and surface treatment of this type of reinforcement, please refer to the articles Glass fiber reinforcement
