| Abstract: | The wettability of glass fibres used as reinforcement for thermoplastics and thermosets has been studied. Contact angles have been determined by the Wilhelmy technique and the wetting parameters such as work of adhesion, fibre surface energy and interfacial energy have been calculated. The fibre surfaces have been analysed by scanning electron microscopy. It is observed that the wettability of the glass fibres is related with the fibre finish and is independant of the fibre diameter for the fibres with the same cross-sectional shape. |
