<p>The present invention includes reinforced polymeric composites comprising: 1) a reinforcing material having applied thereon a composition comprising an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of (a) terpene materials; (b) vitamin materials different from the terpene materials; and (c) combinations thereof (i) in an amount of about 0.00001 weight percent to about 5 weight percent based upon the weight of the reinforcing material, or (ii) in an amount effective to inhibit oxidation of the composition in combination with a film-forming material capable of forming a substantially uniform continuous coating on the reinforcing material; and 2) a polymeric matrix material. Also included are reinforced polymeric composites in which the reinforcing material has a primary coating of a dried residue of an aqueous sizing composition and a secondary coating comprising such antioxidants and methods for reinforcing a polymeric matrix material.</p> |
