Access of air and water will also affect the corrosion rate. Metal inserts in corrosive plastics are most actively attacked at the plastic/metal/air interfaces with certain metals, notably aluminium titaniumand stainless steel, crevice effects (oxygen shielding and entrapment of water) frequently accelerate attack. Acceleration of corrosion by bimetallic couples between carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics and metals presents a problem in the use of these composites.

The performance of all Composite materials is dependent on the adhesion between the different phases. In this article, aspects relevant to carbon-fibre reinforced plastics are discussed. There is a parallel article on Fibre-matrix adhesion - glass fibres. A discussion of the fibre-matrix interface can be found in Fibre composites - introduction.

Not long ago, the terms high performance composites and advanced composites were applied only to such composite materials as carbon fibre reinforced plastics and metal matrix composites, used in the construction of aircraft, rockets and satellites. These terms are now used for concrete-like materials and have similar meaning they are materials of improved selected properties, designed and produced for special applications. The concept of high performance is expressed by the following technical terms ...
