It is known that when it is used as a reinforcing fiber such as P), it has poor wettability with a resin that is a matrix, and also has low adhesiveness at the fiber / matrix resin interface. When such a reinforcing fiber having poor wettability and adhesiveness is used, the mechanical properties of the FRP formed by using the reinforcing fiber are a major factor of lowering not only the tensile property but also the bending and compression properties. Further, it is known that the fracture toughness value, long-term fatigue property, etc. are also greatly affected.

On the other hand, as a countermeasure against these problems, the surface of polyethylene fiber is treated by various surface treatment methods such as gas flame, heated air, heated solvent, acid, fluorine treatment, corona discharge, ultraviolet ray, electron beam, radiation and plasma. Attempts have been made to improve adhesion. These common problems are that as the degree of treatment is increased to improve the adhesiveness of the surface,
It has high strength inside the fiber, which the fiber originally had,
It is a reciprocal relationship that damages the high elastic modulus. As another method of surface modification, a method of melt-mixing polyethylene and a maleic acid compound by using an extruder or the like and graft-modifying is proposed, as disclosed in JP-B-39-6384. In the case of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, unlike ordinary polyethylene, the molecular weight is extremely large, so the melt viscosity is high and uniform mixing is difficult, and since polyethylene undergoes a cross-linking reaction during graft modification, it is It is almost impossible to increase strength and elastic modulus. It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve surface adhesion without compromising the mechanical properties of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene stretched products.
