Abstract
The interface between glass fibers, which coated with a binder system and matrix polymer in glass fiber reinforced plastics is investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) using new method for making ultra thin specimens. A observation in detail of the interfaces between glass fibers and matrix polymers suggest that the polymer component in binder system diffuse into the matrix polymer except for using highly reactive polymer as the binder component.
