Poly(olefin ketone) terpolymer was synthesized by polymerization of ethylene, propylene and carbon monoxide using palladium catalyst. And this polymer was reinforced with polyurethane / amino silane functionalized glass fiber. The compatibilities between the functionalized glass fiber and polymer were characterized by observing scanning electron microscope image of the fracture surfaces. Preparation of composite is suitable for large scale production and its mechanical properties can easily be modified by adjusting contents, diameters and binding polymers of glass fibers. Since the introduction of functionalized glass fiber into the poly(olefin ketone) gives excellent mechanical properties to composites, this system can be promising for the engineering plastic applications.
