Abstract

The silane coupling agent of γ-aminopropyl triethoxy silane combined with ultrasonic vibration was employed to modify the surface of high modulus poly (p-phenylene-2, 6-benzobisoxazole) (HMPBO) fibers. The results showed that polar hydroxyl groups were successfully introduced on the HMPBO surface. The contact angles on HMPBO fibers both for water (θwater) and for glycol (θglycol) gradually were decreased, and the surface roughness of HMPBO fibers was also increased. Meanwhile, the single fiber pull-out strength of HMPBO was increased accordingly.
