Classic text on this topic, a bit old, but essential reading

Excellent reference book. Essential reading for any chemist or student working in the the field of bonding polymers to glass. Assumes degree level chemistry, so not so accessible to engineers hoping to get background on sizing. Does not discuss micromechanics nor fiber/matrix interphase in mechanical terms. Main focus is bonding glass fibers to thermosetting resins, but also looks at thermoplastics, elastomers (not much detail) and Chapter 8 briefly covers various non composite applications such as water repellent surface treatments, silica packings of GLC (chromatography), etc. etc. Book shows it age in places, but well worth having on your bookshelf.
