This article examines the influence of various treatments on the adhesion properties of different fibers, addresses, some of the problem areas, and provides a brief summary of this technology. Various surface treatments have been developed to modify the chemical surface layer of fibers to make them more suitable for bonding to a polymeric material. These surface treatments make possible many high performance products including rigid composite structures, fiber reinforced tires, reinforcement for adhesive / sealant formulation, carpet backings, footwear, and clothingThere is a wide range of natural and manufactured textile fibers available. Satisfactory adhesion depends on the nature of the fiber surface, the presence of natural or added impurities, and the effects of physical and chemical treatments prior to bonding. This article examines the influence of various treatments on the adhesion properties of different fibers, addresses some of the problem areas, and provides a brief summary of this technology.
