Popis: Unsized single-end rovings are oxygen plasma pretreated and organosilicon plasma coated using plasma nanotechnology to optimize the interphase in glass-fiber-reinforced polyester composites and to determine the achievable range of their shear strength for potential applications. This surface modification of the fibers allows us to vary the shear strength of the composite in the range of 23.1 to 45.2 MPa at reduced financial costs of the process, while the commercial sizing corresponds to 39.2 MPa. The shear strength variability is controlled by the adhesion of the interlayer (plasma nanocoating) due to the variable density of chemical bonds at the interlayer/glass interface. The optimized technological conditions can be used for continuous surface modification of rovings in commercial online fiber-processing systems.
