Interfacial bonding of silica glass fiber to polystyrene ionomers

Effect of Silane Coupling Agent on the Flexural Property of Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite Film

“…To improve the interfacial adhesion at interface between the glass fibers and matrix resin, silane coupling agents were used formerly on the fibers [5]. At interface between the glass fibers and the silane coupling agent, the hydroxyl groups of the silanes and those of the glass fiber surface can react with each other through siloxane bonding or hydrogen bonding, as seen in Figure 1 which indicated the adhesion process of the silane coupling agents onto glass fibers [6] [7].…”

Effect of silane coupling agent on mechanical interfacial properties of glass fiber‐reinforced unsaturated polyester composites

“…To improve the interfacial adhesion at the interface between glass fibers and UP resin, coupling agents, such as silane coupling agents, were used on fibers 10. Difunctional organosilicon compounds of general structural formulation, X 3 SiY, X being the hydrolyzable groups such as alkoxy and chlorine and Y being non‐hydrolyzable organofunctional groups such as methacrylate, amino, mercapto, or vinyl groups, have found widespread application as coupling agents for adhesion improvement in inorganic fillers or fiber‐reinforced polymeric composites 11.…”
