The superior performance in the fiber strand products of the invention is due to the absence or the greatly reduced amount of a film former or binder in the sizing composition on the fibers in the reinforcing strand products.The film former or binder is conventionally added to the size for the purpose of bonding the fibers together in the remainder of the strand product manufacturing processes including during wet chopping during vibration in the drying process and during the process of making assembled rovings from dry fiber strands wound in cakes or packages.Without the film formerbinder in the sizing the fiber strands would come apart causing fuzz strands containing fewer fibers than desired and broken fibers detracting from the product quality and substantially increasing scrap reducing productivity and adding other product costs necessary to remove fuzz restart broken strands etc.The film formerbinder in the sizing does not enhance the performance of the reinforcing strands in the molded polymer products but can detract from the desired performance when the film fomerbinder is incompatible with the polymers in the molded reinforced polymer products.Therefore it is normally required to do substantial research to find a film formerbinder for each polymer used in the customers reinforced molded products to inventory each of these products and to keep them separate from each otherall this and other things required for each product adds to the cost ofmanufacturing storing and shipping and also increases complexity leading to more mistakes further adding to the cost.Also the film formerbinder interferes with the coupling agent bonding to the fiber surface and also interferes with the coupling agent bonding to the matrix polymers in the molded products thus reducing the strength below the optimum strength in the reinforced molded products.

DESCRIPTION: The superior performance in the fiber strand products of the invention is due to the absence or the greatly reduced amount of a film former or binder in the sizing composition on the fibers in the reinforcing strand products.The film former or binder is conventionally added to the size for the purpose of bonding the fibers together in the remainder of the strand product manufacturing processes including during wet chopping during vibration in the drying process and during the process of making assembled rovings from dry fiber strands wound in cakes or packages.Without the film formerbinder in the sizing the fiber strands would come apart causing fuzz strands containing fewer fibers than desired and broken fibers detracting from the product quality and substantially increasing scrap reducing productivity and adding other product costs necessary to remove fuzz restart broken strands etc.The film formerbinder in the sizing does not enhance the performance of the reinforcing strands in the molded polymer products but can detract from the desired performance when the film fomerbinder is incompatible with the polymers in the molded reinforced polymer products.Therefore it is normally required to do substantial research to find a film formerbinder for each polymer used in the customers reinforced molded products to inventory each of these products and to keep them separate from each otherall this and other things required for each product adds to the cost ofmanufacturing storing and shipping and also increases complexity leading to more mistakes further adding to the cost.Also the film formerbinder interferes with the coupling agent bonding to the fiber surface and also interferes with the coupling agent bonding to the matrix polymers in the molded products thus reducing the strength below the optimum strength in the reinforced molded products. CLAIM: The method of claim 4 wherein moles of the activator moiety on the treated glass fibers exceed moles of the activator in the resin.

A biosensor comprising a first substrate having an air hole and a second substrate the first and second substrates being laminated on each other wherein the biosensor has a sample flow path between the first and second substrates in a sample flow direction in the flow path an upstream end of the flow path is in communication with a sample introduction port and a downstream end of the flow path is in communication with the air hole an upper surface of the flow path is formed of a surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate and a region on the introduction port side of the upper surface of the flow path is a hydrophilic region and a region on the air hole side of the upper surface of the flow path is a waterrepellent region.

Because the area of the second hydrophilic region is constant the amount of the test solution maintained therein is determined by its area and the internal diameter of the capillary tube.When the test solution passes the hydrophobic region to transfer to the second hydrophilic region the test solution remaining on the hydrophobic region or the solution which cannot be maintained on the second hydrophilic region is removed by repulsion by the hydrophobic region.Accordingly it is not necessary to pipette the test solution previously into a vessel having a known volume or to maintain the reagent in a layered predetermined area.Further because the region maintaining the reagent is hydrophilic the reagent can be fixed to the second hydrophilic region by merely applying it.By reaction between a predetermined amount of the maintained test solution and the reagent a specific component in the test solution can be analyzed highly accurately.
