Strong adhesion in the superdrawn polyoxymethylene (POM) fiber/epoxy matrix system was achieved with surface treatments, 2H‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol (HFP) treatment, and surface phenolation of the fiber. HFP produced micropits for mechanical interlocking with the matrix. Surface phenolation formed active layers leading to interfacial miscibility. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
