Although PET is chemically inert, acrylate functional silane could be graft-polymerized onto the PET fiber surface by this special technique. The com- posite of NR and grafted PET fibers indicated a linear increase in the initial modulus with the fiber content. The fiber rein- forced rubber with a good performance was obtained in the
