Glass fillers were suface modified by direct formation of a silicon‐carbon non‐hydrolyzable linkage between glass and coupling agent. The grafted silane monolayer was evaluated by infrared spectroscopy. Samples were subjected to hydrolytic conditions to compare their surface treatment stability with traditional surface treatment hydrolytic stability. Composite specimens were fabricated and their mechanical properties were compared with traditional aminopropylsilane coupling agent treatment.
