A reinforced polymer composite comprises a matrix of thermoplastic material, and the matrix is reinforced by at least one elongated metal element. The elongated metal element before being embedded in the matrix is coated with at least a first layer and a second layer, and the first layer comprises an adhesion promoting layer, and the second layer comprises a polyolefm copolymerized or grafted with at least one monomer comprising an anhydride or a carboxylic acid functional group. The rein-forced polymer composite further comprises wood particles with concentration of 0% to 95% by weight. It also relates to a method to manufacture the reinforced polymer composite.
A reinforced polymer composite comprising a matrix of thermoplastic material, said matrix being reinforced by at least one elongated metal element, characterized in that said elongated metal element before being embedded in said matrix is coated with at least a first layer and a second layer, said first layer comprises an adhesion promoting layer, and said second layer comprises a polyolefin copolymerized or grafted with at least one monomer comprising an anhydride or a carboxylic acid functional group.
A method of manufacturing a reinforced polymer composite comprising the following steps,
An elongated metal element, characterized in that said elongated metal element is coated with at least a first layer and a second layer, said first layer comprises an adhesion promoting layer, and said second layer comprises a polyolefin copolymerized or grafted with at least one monomer comprising an anhydride or a carboxylic acid functional group.
