ABSTRACT:
Applicants have discovered that by heating cured polymer-coated fiber at temperatures of 100.degree. C. or more, they can enhance the fiber pullout strength by 25% or more. This postcure heating can advantageously be done off-line by placing loosely wound fiber in a heated oven. Alternatively the postcure heating can be done on-line by reel-to-reel passage of the fiber through a heated furnace. Preferred temperatures are in the range 100.degree. C.-300.degree. C.
