In this chapter, we discuss the role of interface in CMCs with a special emphasis on mechanics of the fiber/matrix interface as related to that somewhat elusive property called toughness. We discussed the importance and general features of interface in composites in Chapter 5. Now we look at the subject of tailoring this interface in CMCs with a view to obtain an enhanced fracture toughness in these materials. We give some examples of the interface structure in some CMCs, briefly review the topic of toughness in different types of CMCs and then we analyze in some detail the toughening mechanisms in fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites because of their immense promise.
