Methods for treating reinforcing fiber and treated reinforcing fibers

摘要: Surface treated fibers and methods of treating individual fiber surfaces. One exemplary method includes subjecting a precursor gas to plasma-generating discharge within an atmospheric plasma generator generate reactive species flow including oxygen species, exposing reinforcing the for treatment time sufficient functionalize with such that at least one composite matrix interfacial adhesion or strength fiber, increases. The preferably carrier oxidative gas, being contained in amount up 25% by volume gas.
