Distribution of adhesive drops within fibre bundles
Tarik G. Somer · Journal of Applied Chemistry · 1966
Abstract The motion of a drop along a fibre is studied to formulate a method by which adhesives could be distributed within fibre bundles. The drops had to be located at the cross‐points of fibres to provide strength and flexibility to the mat. Among the various methods of application, described in detail, only the solution method gave satisfactory results. An empirical relationship was derived to estimate the mass of the adhesives retained by the fibres.
