A review on the development of polymer composites reinforced by the ceramic-whiskers is given in this paper, such as potassium titanate whisker, zinc oxide whisker, aluminum borate whisker. The effect of whisker content, surface modification and pre-compounding process on the mechanical and tribological behaviors of polymer composites is discussed. It is confirmed that the proper surface modification method can enhance the reinforcement effect of whiskers. There are insufficiencies in observing and analyzing the micro-structure of the interface. An investigation direction is put forward to set...
