Even though fiber sizing is a small percentage of a composite, it plays a notably significant role in the interface properties between the surface of a fiber and the composite matrix. Michelman manufactures a variety of dispersions and emulsions of polymers and waxes used by reinforcement fiber and composite fabric manufacturers as carbon fiber sizing, glass fiber sizing, binders, and lubricants, which are specifically designed to optimize properties of composites made with various resins or plastics. This webinar will help attendees learn more about choosing the right fiber sizing to improve composite performance for various applications.
Primary Topics:
- What is fiber sizing
- Fiber sizing benefits
- Fiber polymer matrix interface
- Fiber sizing chemistries, product portfolio, and emerging trends & solutions
