Abstract: Surface modification is a key technique for enhancing the binding properties between basalt fiber reinforcement and matrix material. This paper reviews the recent progress in pre-modification of basalt fibers by using silane coupling agents, and using silane coupling agents with the assistance of acid/alkaline etching or the assistance of plasma. The application of silane coupling agents treated basalt fiber in polymer matrix composites is highlighted, and the future development of silane coupling agents treated basalt fiber-reinforced composites is prospected. Also, the key issues at present stage are analyzed.
