Short Fiber-Elastomer Composites

Abstract

A tncomponent system of hexamethylenetetramme, resorcinol and high surface area hydrated silica provides good adhesion in bonding discontinuous fibers to elastomeric matrices. While this system (HRH) has made it possible to study many types of fiber elastomer composites with good fiber matrix adhesion, questions such as effect of fiber length, orientation, etc. remain unanswered.
