Notes:
A method was developed to measure the adhesion between fibers and fast curing elastomer, in droplet form, using the microbond pull-out method. Samples were fabricated by arranging the fibers as a grid on which elastomer droplets were formed for testing. A droplet sliding test method was developed to investigate the nature of the sites of the droplets on the fiber after displacement of the droplets. Fibers of polyester, aramid, and HMW-polyethylene were tested with resins of polyurethane and natural rubber latex. The fibers had been surface-treated by corona, gamma radiation, or methanol extraction. The shape of the droplets was determined by microscopic measurement. The shear strength of the fiber/matrix bond was tested using a microvise grip in a tensile strength tester. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
