Evaluation of Existing and Development of New Analytical Procedures for Use in the Analysis of Finishes for Glass Fabric Material.

摘要

The strong and weak points of present methods as well as their correlation with performance are shown for vinylsilane finishes (A-172 and Garan), gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane finish (A-1100) and methacrylatechromium finish (Volan A). The uniformity of loading of finish on commercially treated glass cloth has been shown. The strength of bonding has been shown by extractive procedures and by performance data. A new simple, qualitative, rapid, colorimetric series of tests has been developed for identifying the above finishes. New, improved quantitative procedures have also been developed for each finish. An electron microscopy replica technique has been developed which allows the actual surface and configuration of the finishes on glass to be seen, giving a new tool and new insight into the way finishes behave on glass.
