An aqueous adhesive composition for treating a reinforcing fiber for bonding to a thermosetting polymer matrix and products made therefrom such as power transmission belts. The adhesive composition includes: water as the solvent or dispersing medium; a polyelectrolyte co-curable with the polymer matrix; a primer material compatible with the fiber and co-curable with the polyelectrolyte; and optionally a rubber curative compatible with the polyelectrolyte and the polymer matrix. A fiber-reinforced, composite polymer system may thus include a thermosetting polymer matrix, a reinforcing fiber embedded therein, and an adhesive composition coating the fiber; the adhesive composition including a polyelectrolyte co-curable with the polymer matrix and a primer material compatible with the fiber and co-curable with the polyelectrolyte. The adhesive composition may include a curative compatible with the polyelectrolyte. In one preferred embodiment, the invention is an aqueous adhesive composition including water, an epoxy resin, a maleated polybutadiene derivative, and a curative.

Disclosed herein is an adhesive composition that includes a resin composition and an epoxy-containing compound. The resin composition includes an epoxidized polysulfide and an epoxidized oil. The epoxidized polysulfide is present in the adhesive composition in a weight ratio to the epoxidized oil of 20:1 to 1:1. Also disclosed is the adhesive composition in an at least partially cured state. Also disclosed is a method for treating a substrate comprising applying the adhesive composition to a surface of a substrate; and applying an external energy source to cure the composition. Also disclosed are substrates comprising the adhesive composition in an at least partially cured state.

A one-component toughened epoxy-modified polyurethane and/or urea adhesive includes a mixture of dicyandiamide and a dihdyrazide as curing agents. The mixture of curing agents permits the adhesive to be cured at lower temperatures while developing good adhesive and mechanical properties in the cured adhesive.
