<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reinforcing fiber, a process for making a reinforcing fiber, a process for making a plurality of reinforcing fibers, a reinforcing fiber for a curable resin, a cured composite, a curable composite, a process for making a cured composite, a method for applying a composite to a surface, and a method for molding a composite. <P>SOLUTION: The method for preparing a molded composite comprises milling the reinforcing fibers to a mean fiber length of less than 5 mm, treating the milled fibers with a coupling agent and suspending the dried fibers in a liquid resin which reacts with the coupling agent on the fibers. Preferred fibers include glass fibers and milled mica coated with calcined iron oxide. Preferred coupling agents are organosilanes and metal acrylates, e.g., zinc diacrylate. Composites formed by the above method exhibit improved impact resistance, tensile strength and flexural strength. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
