ABSTRACT:
Sized glass fibers are provided that enables the production of sized glass fibers having improved filamentization. When these sized glass fibers are used for reinforcing polymeric materials the reinforced polymeric materials having good mechanical properties such as tensile strength and compaction without fuzz, fly or static properties of the strands. The reinforced polymeric materials and other improvements of the present invention eminate from the use of an interaction product of an epoxidized polar thermoplastic copolymer and an amino organo silane coupling agent in an aqueous sizing composition that also contains a predominant amount of a cross-linkable film former. The aqueous sizing composition has one or more cross-linkable film formers, one or more organo silane coupling agents and about 2 to about 12 weight percent of an interaction product of an unhydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed amino organo silane coupling agent and an epoxidized polar thermoplastic copolymer. The epoxy copolymer has about 2 to about 12 parts of monomer with epoxy functionality per 100 parts of copolymer. Also the epoxy copolymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from -10.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C. The unhydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed amino silane coupling agent is contacted with the epoxidized copolymer, where the copolymer has a percent solids in the range of about 15 to about 60 weight percent. The sizing composition can also have additional additives like lubricants, plasticizers, emulsifiers, urea formaldehyde condensates and the like. The method of producing the aqueous sizing composition involves having at least one organo silane coupling agent which is an amino organo silane coupling agent which is split for addition so that a predominant amount in an unhydrolyzed form is added to the cross-linkable film former and the remaining amount of the unhydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed amino organo silane coupling agent is added to the epoxidized copolymer. The aqueous sizing composition is applied to glass fibers during their formation, and the sized glass fibers are gathered into strands and dried at a temperature of above 100.degree. C. for about 4 hours. A plurality of the dried, sized glass fiber strands are gathered dried and collected for use in various forms such as chopped strands, continuous strands, mats and the like for reinforcing polymeric materials.
