RUBBER-COATED GLASS FIBER AND ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

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 chemically binding a rubber component in a rubber coating layer to 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 comprises introducing a graft active site into the glass fiber surface and then carrying out the graft copolymerization of a monomer for the rubber component in the graft active site.
