GLASS FIBER SURFACE TREATMENTS: THEORIES AND NAVY RESEARCH,

Abstract

This report reviews and discusses the current status of both old and new theories to explain the mechanism of finishes at the glass-resin interface in reinforced plastics. All the evidence for and against the Chemical Bonding Theory is cited and examined in view of the fact that this is still the only theory which predicts chemical finish structures which lead to improved laminate strengths. Both recent and current studies by Navy laboratories and contractors to the Navy which are concerned with the resin-glass bond and stronger reinforced plastics are cited and briefly reviewed.
