Abstract: The invention relates to a process for improving the adhesion of carbon fibres with regard to an organic matrix forming a composite material with these fibres, this composite material being obtained by bringing the fibres into contact with a resin which can be cured by chain polymerization and then polymerizing the resin, which process is characterized in that it comprises the grafting, to the surface of the fibres, before they are brought into contact with the resin, of groups capable of acting as chain transfer agents during the polymerization of said resin. Fields of application: aeronautical, aerospatial, railway, ship building and automobile industries but also the armaments industry, the industry of sports and leisure articles, and the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process that makes it possible to improve the mechanical strength of bonds between substrates when these bonds are produced by means of an adhesive that comprises a resin that can be cured by chain polymerization, and in particular a resin that can be cured under the effect of ionizing or light radiation. This process is characterized in that it comprises the grafting of groups capable of acting as chain transfer agents during the polymerization of said resin to the surface of the substrates, before the latter are brought into contact with the adhesive. Applications: assembling of structural, engine, passenger compartment or bodywork parts in the aeronautical, space, railway, ship-building and automotive industries.
