Abstract
Glass fiber/resin adhesion, in terms of interfacial shear strength, was determined in a system consisting of silane coated single filaments embedded in a polymeric resin. Wettability of the fibers in the resin was measured with a Wilhelmy wetting balance. The interfacial shear strength and the resin wetting were found to be dependent on the concentration of the silanes in the coating solution. The dependence on silane concentration is similar in character for both properties, though different for different silane compounds. Studies by GPC, DMA and FTIR of the coatings suggested deposition of a polymeric, low molecular weight silane product by dilute solutions, and a high molecular weight, highly cross-linked polymer by concentrated solutions. It is concluded that the different properties of silane coatings are responsible for the observed differences in resin wetting, which in turn affect the interfacial bond strength and its degradation in the presence of water. Also, at a given concentration of a coupling agent, better adhesion and water resistance might be achieved by increasing the number of glass and/or resin reactive groups on the silane compound.
