Sažetak

The paper describes different effects on the mechanical properties of fibre reinforced polymers, such as direction and the amount of fibres, impregnation of fibres with the polymer matrix, and adhesion between fibres and the polymer matrix. Direction of the fibres can be unidirectional (vertical to the direction of loading), i.e. bidirectional or multidirectional (under different angles to the direction of loading), or even in random order. The amount of fibres also increases the strength of the composite, although reinforcement with fibres can only be efficient when loading is transferred from the matrix to the fibres. This requires good impregnation of the fibres with the polymer matrix, which depends on the type and viscosity of the polymer matrix (prior to polymerisation), and possibility of good wetting of each fibre. For improvement of adhesion between the polymer matrix and glass fibres bonding/coupling agents are used, particularly silane. They bond to the surface of the glass by silane bridges and by co-polymerisation initiated by free radicals bond with the polymer matrix, thus improving adhesion between fibres and the polymer matrix. Apart from the mechanical properties, such good bonding is also important for reducing the unfavourable effect of water on the marginal surface of the fibre-base.
