Abstract
The effect of peroxide initiated grafting of polyethylene to silane treated glass surfaces has been studied. FT-IR has been used to study the reactions in a model system of hexadecane and silane treated Aerosil. DSC has been used to determine the melting point and the amount of grafted polyethylene to a silane treated glass surface. A series of glass fiber reinforced polyethylene composites has been characterized by mechanical testing and rheology testing. The fracture surfaces of the composites have also been examined by scanning electron microscopy.
