Organometalic coupling agents may be employed at low levels in a variety of aerospace related material systems to improve processability and physiocal properties associated with enhanced flow, interfacial bonding and corrosion control. Useful experimental data were developed for coupling agent effects on 20% glass fiber reinforced PPO, 30% graphite fiber reinforced PEEK, unfilled acetal, unfilled nylon, glass fiber reinforced BMI, wollastonite reinforced epoxy, and nylon fiber reinforced phenolic.

Improved bonding of fiberglass, Kevlar and carbon fiber to a variety of elastomeric, epoxy and peroxide cured unsaturated thermoset substrates was achieved via the inclusion of minor proportions of organotitanante and/or organozirconate coupling agents in the various polymer matrices. peel strength, fiber pullout and chemical resistance data is provided to demonstrate significant improvements in bonding between these fibers and rubber, epoxy polyurethane, polyester and vinyl ester resins, among others.
