What is Investigations on the Strength of Alkali-containing Glass Fibers about?
## Abstract The assertion was checked that alkali containing glass fibers, which evolve caustic bases when attacked by water, are, by this fact, responsible for the mechanical deterioration of reinforced plastics. Glass fibers of different chemical composition, when extracted with water, showed no correlation between amount of alkali in the glass and alkali leached out. Tensile strength of glass fibers is not a function of alkali content. Subjected to water, all types of glass fibers keep their strength except when boiled. This applies to fibers coated with coupling agent or in the native state. Deterioration of laminates under the influence of water seems to be primarily a function of the interface.
