Continuous alumina fiber-reinforced yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composites with a LaPO4 fiber coating were fabricated by slurry infiltration and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The LaPO4 coating was deposited on the reinforcement alumina fabrics by a modified sol-gel method. The YSZ slurry with good dispersion and stability was prepared by optimizing the pH value, dispersant addition and ball milling time. The fabricated composite with a high density of similar to 92 % has a good flexural strength of 277 +/- 43 MPa, and a superior fracture toughness of 15.93 +/- 0.75 MPa.m(1/2) exhibiting a non-brittle failure behavior. It was found that the LaPO4 coating reduced the residual stress near the fiber/matrix interface to 131 +/- 41 MPa, which was 369 +/- 63 MPa in the composite without the fiber coating. The LaPO4 coating renders a weak interphase to improve the composite toughness by activating several toughening mechanisms including crack deflection, fiber debonding and pullout, and delamination behavior.
