Abstract
The need for coupling agents was recognized in 1940 when glass fibers were first used as reinforcements in organic resins. Specific strength-to-weight ratios of dry glass-resin composites were very favorable, but the laminates lost much of their strength during prolonged exposure to moisture. Because unsaturated polyester resins were the most common organic matrix material, various unsaturated compounds of silicon and other elements were tested as coupling agents. Only unsaturated silanes and methacrylato-chrome complexes (DuPont Volan®) have reached commercial importance.
