Abstract

Abstract Compositions which are particularly useful as coupling agents and primers for polyolefin composites. The compositions comprise fumaric acid and diaminefunctional silanes in mole ratios from 1.0 to 1.4 in nonreactive solvent, particularly water. These compositions are particularly effective in polyethylene composite materials.
