Glass fibre reinforcements form the backbone of a composites industry with a global annual
production of more than 10 million tons of high performance, light-weight materials. Possibly …

Glass fibre reinforcements form the backbone of a composites industry. Possibly the most
critical component involved in the manufacture of glass fibres and their composites is the …

Abstract Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) is an increasingly used class of processes to
manufacture high performance composites. Engineering fabrics commonly used in LCM …

Dynamic wetting measurements and micromechanical and macromechanical testing have
been used to characterize the fibre/matrix interaction. Unsized glass fibres, glass fibres sized …

Sizings on glass fibers consist of a silane-based network that is chemically bound to the fiber
and other compounds that are adsorbed onto the glass surface. Formation of interphase …

Achieving high impact energy absorption without loss of structural performance in a glass
fiber-reinforced composite can be obtained through a “materials by design” approach of the …

The characteristics of thermosetting composite materials such as SMC are affected by the
presence of reinforcements as a result of surface–matrix interactions. Surface treatments or …

A review of references to sizing and finishing composites for basalt and glass fibers is
presented. The existing approaches to creation of composites and the most often used …
