• Description: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used as an alternative to traditional materials; however, improving their manufacturing processes and performance remains an important research topic. This study focuses on enhancing fiber–matrix interfacial adhesion in composites reinforced with aramid, glass, and flax fabrics using various dielectric barrier discharges. TThe treatmenht enhances fibre–matrix stability and significantly increases the environmental durability and long-term performance of the composites.
