PURPOSE:To provide rubber-coated glass fiber having the whole fiber surface, including end faces and coated with rubber with hardly any adhesion between the fibers and a method for producing the rubber-coated glass fiber. CONSTITUTION:This rubber-coated glass fiber is characterized by the presence of a layer of a water repellent component chemically bound to glass fiber between the rubber coating layer and the glass fiber surface in the rubber-coated glass fiber having the whole surface coated with the rubber layer. Furthermore, this method for producing the rubber-coated glass fiber is to subject the glass fiber surface to water repellent treatment, then radically polymerize a monomer for the rubber component in the presence of the glass fiber and hold the resultant rubber on the glass fiber surface. |
