Abstract

High-modulus PPTA and PBZT fibers have been surface-modified by a series of reactions to allow single filaments to be wetted by sodium silicate solutions as well as to exhibit good adhesion to the resulting glass coating. Fiber surfaces have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. PBZT and PPTA fibers showed little or no decrease of their tensile properties as a consequence of the surface-modification. Glass coatings have been applied to single filaments by dip-coating in an aqueous sodium silicate solution followed by air- and vacuumdrying. Coated PPTA and PBZT fibers with shear moduli as high as 5 GPa have been prepared. The compressive strain at failure of PPTA filaments coated with a 0.5 μm thick air-dried coating was raised to 0.6%, compared to 0.4% for uncoated filaments.
