The effect of silane concentration on the adsorption of poly(vinyl acetate-co-maleate) and γ -methacryloxypropyl- trimethoxysilane onto E-glass fibers

Abstract

The adsorption of a poly(vinyl acetate-co-maleate) (PVAM) emulsion onto E-glass fibers was investigated along with sizing formulations prepared by mixing the PVAM with varying concentrations of γ -methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS). The sized E-glass fibers were then characterized using Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Loss on Ignition (LOI) along with the DRIFT spectra indicated that the addition of silane to the PVAM emulsion caused a decrease in the amount of size on the fiber. The decrease in amount of size on the E-glass fibers did not coincide with a decrease in surface coverage, instead the XPS results indicated surface coverage had increased with silane addition. These results showed that small increases in the silane concentration appear to affect the amount of size adsorbed to the E-glass fibers
