Surface Treatment of Glass-Reinforced Plastics:Structural Study of Silane Finish Layers on the Surface of Glass Fillers.Modification of Finishes by Transition Metal Salts

摘要

The structure and chemical composition of glass fiber surface treatment substances and their influence on composite materials properties are analyzed.Properties and structure of filler-binder interface is one the central problems in the theory of development of polymer composite materials. For target-specific control of the properties of the contact zone, the surface of a reinforcing material (filler) is treated with low-molecular organic substances, viz. finishes, which interact both with the polymer matrix and with the filler.
