Abstract

Ceramic fiber composites (mainly with continuous fibers) are reviewed, in part, from the perspective of the pertinence of such results to cementitious construction materials. While there is a large gap in the density, stiffness, etc., of the matrices and of the types and volume fraction of fibers used in these two types of material systems, the fact that for any of these systems fiber-matrix friction/pull-out are important suggests some useful transfer of information. Fiber coatings, which can have spectacular benefits in ceramic fiber composites by controlling fiber-matrix interfaces are discussed. Matrix conformance to the fibers and fiber bending and shape are also probable factors about which less is known, but are discussed because of their potential importance. Similarly, issues of fiber size and fibermatrix property differences are briefly discussed, as are effects of matrix porosity.
