Energetic species in plasma have been used for four decades to functionalise or coat the hydrophobic and inert carbon fibre (CF) surface with the aim to enhance interface performance with polymeric matrices. To encourage a data-driven polymeric composite manufacturing process, this review communicates introductory plasma science, treatment methods, reaction mechanisms, fibre properties and composite performance. The digest on fibre properties after plasma modification informs the mechanical property enhancement of micro- and macro-scale fibre-reinforced polymeric composites. To reliably emulate CF plasma treatments for industrial polymeric composites manufacture, the bulk plasma must be characterised to produce the same reactive species in a non-identical plasma device. Integration of plasma diagnostics can spearhead interdisciplinary work to predict CF surface modification throughout the bundle and fabric, substituting the trial and error status quo. To justify the use of plasma, its environmental, social, and economic impact must be quantitatively compared to alternative fibre surface treatments.

通过等离子体对碳纤维表面进行改性以增强聚合物复合材料的性能：综述

等离子体中的高能物质已被用于功能化或涂覆疏水性惰性碳纤维 (CF) 表面已有四十年，目的是增强与聚合物基质的界面性能。为了鼓励数据驱动的聚合物复合材料制造工艺，本综述介绍了等离子体科学、处理方法、反应机制、纤维特性和复合材料性能。等离子体改性后纤维性能的摘要为微观和宏观纤维增强聚合物复合材料的机械性能增强提供了信息。为了可靠地模拟工业聚合物复合材料制造中的 CF 等离子体处理，必须对本体等离子体进行表征，以在不同的等离子体装置中产生相同的活性物质。等离子体诊断的集成可以引领跨学科工作，预测整个纤维束和织物的 CF 表面改性，从而取代反复试验的现状。为了证明等离子体的使用合理性，必须将其环境、社会和经济影响与替代纤维表面处理进行定量比较。
