English abstract:
One of the reasons why several combinations of reinforcements and metallic matrix materials do not achieve their theoretical thermophysical and thermomechanical properties predicted by simulations, is due to the interfacial area which is in many cases not included in simulations and models. Nevertheless this area plays an important role in Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). In order to have tools for tailoring of interfaces first attempts are made to coat short carbon fibers by vacuum deposition methods. A comparison between the adhesion strength of copper films on carbon surfaces deposited by electrochemical methods and PVD methods shows higher adhesion of PVD coatings.
