This research reports on the effect of a diazide, i.e., 1.4‐carboxybenzenesulfonyl diazide, which had been incorporated onto fiber by a chemical reaction, on the formation of an interphase between the elastomeric SBR matrix and polyester fiber. The existence of the interphase becomes manifest not only in the variation of the mechanical properties, but especially through swelling measurements and dynamic properties. The effect of the new system based on diazide is similar to that obtained from a conventional adhesive system, but presents certain benefits, such as a shorter curing time due to absence of resin, enhanced tensile strength, and the formation of a more flexible interphase, which entails lesser heat generation due to mechanical energy loss. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
