Abstract
A method of making a fiber reinforced glass matrix composite wherein a continuous length of fiber is impregnated with glass and at least partially consolidated to form a fiber-glass matrix system encompassing the continuous length of fibers, cutting the fiber-glass system into a plurality of short fiber reinforced composites, heating the short fiber reinforced composites to form a composite batch wherein the glass matrix is in a molten condition, and molding the composite batch to form a reinforced glass composite article with uniform random distribution of short fibers, is disclosed.
