Abstract: Highlights: [•] Weak-acid cation exchangers were used as a coating for glass fiber reinforcements. [•] The practice requires no modification of the production process of composite bars. [•] The modification improved durability of the bars in alkaline environments. [•] The coating of composite bars did not decrease their mechanical performance. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
