The invention relates to a reinforcement fiber comprising a coating of epoxy resin having an epoxy backbone, wherein the epoxy resin comprises specific grafts attached to the backbone. The invention further relates to a polymer composite comprising a polymer and a reinforcement fiber of the invention. Reinforcement of polymers with fibers of the invention is enhanced by interaction of the grafts with the polymer. La présente invention concerne une fibre de renforcement comprenant un revêtement de résine époxy présentant un squelette époxy, la résine époxy comprenant des greffes spécifiques fixées au squelette. L'invention concerne en outre un composite polymère comprenant un polymère et une fibre de renforcement selon l'invention. Le renforcement de polymères au moyen des fibres selon l'invention est amélioré grâce à l'interaction des greffes avec le polymère.
