Silylation (silanation) is old and sure method for adhesion improvement. For instance, treatment with hexamethyldisalazane or trialkoxy alkylsilanes (trimethoxy- or triethoxy methylsilanes are common)

In addition to the surface treatment the reproducible particle size distribution is very important, as it may change the mechanical properties drastically. Without that even surface treatment does not help.

Your processing method will make a difference. Is your composite resulted from melt processing or waterborne processing? Different conditions lead to different stories.

@Zehang

Yes it is a melt processing.
