The interfacial performance of carbon fiber composites plays a critical role in determining their overall mechanical properties.However,the weak interfacial bonding caused by the inert surface of carbon fibers remains a significant challenge in current research.The precise design and controllable assembly of nanomaterials have emerged as key focuses in the current research on the interfaces of carbon fiber composites.This review provided a systematic review of two primary interfacial modification approaches for carbon fiber composites:chemical grafting and physical coating.It focused on analyzing the reinforcement mechanisms morphology-specific nanomaterials and their impact on the interfacial performance of carbon fiber composite materials.Through an in-depth examination of the modification mechanisms of morphology-specific nanomaterials,it was concluded that particulate nanomaterials enhanced interfacial anchoring density via their high specific surface area and uniform distribution;fibrous nanomaterials optimized stress transfer and crack inhibition through the formation of a three-dimensional network structure;and layered nanomaterials mitigated agglomeration and improved toughness through biomimetic stacking design.Furthermore,this paper highlighted that existing studies on morphology-specific nanomaterials faced challenges such as complex processes and limited functionality.Future efforts should focus on developing efficient and mild modification techniques,designing multi-level structured nanomaterials to impart multifunctional properties to composites,and establishing a comprehensive evaluation system that encompassed both mechanical performance and long-term stability,facilitating the transition of high-performance carbon fiber composites from fundamental research to practical engineering applications.
