  • Method of bonding glass fibers or other substrates to various polymers by oxidizing the molten polymer surface, and articles produced thereby
    Patent number: 4702956
    Abstract: The surface of a molten polymer is treated with a flame as the polymer is extruded; the polymer is co-calendered with a substrate as a fibrous web immediately downstream from the extruder and the flame. Articles so treated exhibit superior bond strengths. In one embodiment, both the polymer and the web are treated with a flame prior to the step of co-calendering.
