E-Glass filament

The silanes used in this study and their suppliers are listed in Table 1. Single E glass filaments (formed in house) were coated directly under the one-hole bushing.

Twintex R PP (from Saint-Gobain) is a roving composed of commingled E-glass and polypropylene filaments. It is suitable for filament winding and pultrusion. Consolidation is achieved by heating (180-230°C) under pressure.

The reinforcements amenable to RTM are similar to those used for pultrusion, except that they need not be continuous in nature. Thus, E-glass, S-glass, aramid, and carbon fibers are commonly used, as are discontinuous filaments such as wood fiber and polyesters. Even metal and ceramic fibers can be used in this technique. In one method, the preform is fabricated by spraying 12- to 75-mm-long chopped fiber rovings onto a preshaped screen. A binder sprayed with the fibers keeps them in place and holds the preform shape, which is then placed in the mold. 

Glass. Packages of 200 filament strand pulled from a standard E glass composition were provided by PPG Industries. Density p was taken as 2.55 g cm-3 fiber diameter d measured by optical microscopy ranged from 8.9 to 9.1 pm. 

The most important polymeric matrices are linear and cross-linked polyesters, epoxy resins and linear and cross-linked polyimides the most important reinforcements are high-performance polymeric fibres and filaments (for polymeric composites), filaments of refractory metals and inorganic materials (E-glass, A12C>3, B, BN, SiC and Carbon) and whiskers (fibrillar single crystals of A1203, B4C, WC, SiC and C, exclusively for reinforcement of metals).
