Abstract
New helical coupling plasma system for continuous surface treatment and modification (surface processing) of fiber bundles has been developed and tested for glass fibers. The system enables surface processing of single filaments and flat substrates as well. Surface processed glass fibers and their bundles were examined as reinforcements for glass fiber/polyester composite systems. Processing of fibers comprised a surface treatment using argon gas and a surface modification using hexamethyldisiloxane and vinyltriethoxysilane monomers. Interfacial and interlaminar shear strengths of plasma processed glass fiber/polyester systems were compared with those of untreated and commercially sized fibers.
