heal.abstract	Ultra high modulus fibres, such as aramid and polyethylene, show unique properties because of their fully-aligned chain configuration. This paper examines attempts to overcome some of the problems associated with such fibres, in particular, their poor interfacial adhesion to most resin matrices. It outlines results of treatments of the fibre surface with corona discharge, and plasma etching and chromic acid. The paper identifies significant improvements with both treatments, in particular, in the areas of wettability, bonding strength and interlaminar shear strength. The paper concludes that corona and plasma treatments are very versatile and efficient procedures for enhancing the interfacial adhesion of ultra high modulus fibres.	en
