Ceramic-fibre-reinforced metallic and intermetallic matrix composites require well-characterised fibre/matrix interfaces. These interfaces require that the fibre surface be clean prior to the formation of a composite or application of a fibre coating. This work investigates the effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV)/ozone exposure at removing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose sizing from sapphire plates and fibres.
