Inverse gas chromatography has been used on two types of coated glass fibre over a range of temperatures. Interaction parameters, χ, extrapolated to 298K yielded values for the solubility parameter, δ, of 20.1 (MPa) 1/2 and 23.5(MPa) 1/2 . After removal by combustion of the coatings, a higher value was yielded for the δ of glass. The findings, in conjunction with values of 19.8(MPa) 1/2 and 20–6(MPa) 1/2 for an amine cured epoxy resin and phthalic anhydride cured epoxy resin, respectively, provide a useful guide to the appropriate combination of cured resin matrix with coating with respect to optimum interfacial interaction.
