SURFACE CHEMISTRY OF PLASTICS REINFORCED BY STRONG FIBERS
ONE OF THE MOST TROUBLESOME PROBLEMS IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTICS IS HOW TO ACHIEVE OPTIMUM RESIN ADHESION OVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF EACH FIBER. EVEN WHEN REGIONS OF THE RESIN MEDIUM ARE SUFFICIENTLY CONTINUOUS TO BE AMPLY RESISTANT TO THE ACTION OF WATER, THERE REMAINS THE DIFFICULTY OF PROTECTING THE REINFORCING FIBERS FROM LOSS OF STRENGTH OR OF RESIN ADHESION WHEVER WATER HAS PENETRATED CRACKS AND PORES TO REACH THE FIBERS. THE OBJECT OF THIS REPORT IS TO SUMMARIZE AND INTERPRET THE MORE RECENT INVESTIGATIONS OF THESE TWO TOPICS, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE ADVANCES OR PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE SURFACE CHEMICAL MECHANISMS AND SOME RELATED POLYMER MECHANISMS. ALTHOUGH ATTENTION HERE USUALLY APPEARS TO BE FOCUSED ON COMPOSITES COMPRISING A MORE OR LESS CONTINUOUS ORGANIC POLYMERIC MEDIUM (THE RESIN) IN WHICH IS DISPERSED EITHER A RANDOM OR ORGANIZED MASS OF A FRIBROUS GLASS-REINFORCING MATERIAL, NEARLY ALL OF THE CONCLUSIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS ARE EXTENDED FREQUENTLY TO INCLUDE REINFORCING MATERIALS OTHER THAN GLASS. /AUTHOR/
