Abstract

The primary focus of this study was to demonstrate that conventional reinforcing Eglass fibres can be used for in-situ monitoring of cross-linking reactions using evanescent wave spectroscopy. The effect of silane treatment on the cross-linking kinetics of a thermosetting resin is also presented.
