Abstract
The fibre-matrix interfacial region has been examined in BORSIC®-aluminium. The structure of this interface and that of the silicon carbide-boron interface have been revealed by transmission electron microscopy. Observations of composite fracture surfaces have indicated the considerable strength of the fibre-matrix interface and have shown that interfacial failure is seldom a mode of composite fracture.
