Modification of epoxy resin by polysulfone to improve the interfacial and mechanical properties in glass fibre composites. II. Adhesion of the epoxy-polysulfone matrices to glass fibres - J. Adhesion Sci. Technol., 18(11), p.1293-1308, 2004 .

Adhesion of epoxy-polysulfone (PSF)matrices to glass fibres of 12-30 ìm in diameter was studied under both quasi-static and cyclic loadings. A pull-out technique was used for adhesion measurement. It was shown that incorporation of PSF into epoxy resin changed its adhesion to fibres. A maximum was observed in the adhesion strength vs. PSF content dependence at 10 wt
