Water and Vinyl Trichlorosilane Vapor Interactions with E-Glass Fibers.

Abstract

Gravimetric adsorption isotherm techniques were utilized to study the adsorption of water vapor on E-glass fibers drawn in dry atmospheres and E-glass fibers drawn in a vinyl trichlorosilane atmosphere. The adsorption of vinyl trichlorosilane vapor on E-glass fibers was found to be diffusion controlled Langmuir chemisorption in character. Water vapor was shown to have a lower affinity for E-glass surfaces drawn in dry air than for E-glass fibers drawn in a dry air/vinyl trichlorosilane atmosphere. The details of the adsorption and readsorption process are dis-cussed. (Author-PL)
