Interlayer toughening in polymer–matrix composite materials can address the usual suspects in regard to the failure of laminated composites. Issues contributing to poor interlaminar strength and toughness can be delayed or eliminated by interleaving, which also suppresses matrix cracking, whether the root cause of delamination is isolated or synchronous. The interlayers/interleafs are considered herein as the additional design features, enabling tuning of the ply-to-ply interfacial (interlaminar) regions. A comprehensive literature review is presented for different interleaving strategies, with a special focus on ...
