Inorganic whiskers treatment

Mingbo Guo, Hong Xu, Hongchen Gu. Surface treatment of inorganic whisker. CP200110015677, 9. 

The tensile strength of materials is dependent on the treatment and form of the material. Thus, the tensile strength of isotropic bulk nylon-6,6 is less than that of anisotropic oriented nylon-6,6 fiber. Inorganics and metals also form fibers and whiskers with varying tensile strengths (Table 14.1). Fibers are generally less crystalline and larger than whiskers. 

In surface coating and coupling treatment, first the whisker surface is coated with a layer of inorganic substance, such as...
