It is proposed that titanium‐derived coupling agents react with free protons at the inorganic interface to form organic monomolecular layers on the inorganic surface, which causes inorganic/organic phase compatibilization resulting in new composite property, catalysis, adhesion, and rheology performance standards. Processing techniques and rheology effects using titanates are discussed. The injection pressures of CaCO3, carbon black filled polystyrene, and glass‐fiber, talc‐filled poly(phenylene sulfide) are shown to be reduced 50 percent by use of cumyl phenyl type titanate. Adhesion effects are discussed in many composites such as epoxy/aluminum, acrylic/slate, carbon fiber/polyester, etc., followed by data showing significant property improvements in 1/16 inch milled glass fiber and Wollastonite RRIM urethane, printed circuit boards and amide and anhydride cured aramid fiber‐reinforced epoxy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
