N1 - Funding Information: The MMC samples were provided by Professor R.F. Singer and 0. Gttinger (University of Erlangen-Ntirn-berg) who we would also like to thank for helpful discussions. Thanks are due to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for financial support and to Schott, Mainz for providing the fibre-reinforced glasses. Special thanks are due to Dr M. Fiiting of the Fraun-hofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials, Branchlab Halle, for providing the facilities of ESEM-3 equipped with the microdeformation table.

N2 - In fibre-reinforced composites, reactions occurring at the fibre-matrix interface and affecting the structure and composition of the interfacial region are studied to control the mechanical properties of the composites. For both metal matrix composites (MMCs) and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) the interfacial reactions were investigated in different types of materials with different mechanical behaviour by microstructural (high-voltage and high-resolution electron microscopy, HVEM and HREM) and microchemical (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscqpy and electron energy loss spectroscopy, EDXS and EELS) studies. Their effect on the mechanical properties was studied by corresponding scanning electron microscope in situ deformation tests.
