In a previous work, a mechanical model was proposed to predict the reinforcement of amorphous polymers by particulates as well as by unidirectional fibers over wide ranges of volume fractions of fillers and temperatures (or frequencies). This model is based on both the definition of a representative

In this study, the effects of fiber diameter, molecular weight of the matrix polymer, and interfiber spacing in glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene composites were investigated on the interfacial microstructure. The influences of the surface state of the fiber and the heat-treatment condition on th
The effect of fiber surface pretreatment on the interfacial strength and mechanical properties of wood fiber/polypropylene (WF/PP) composites are investigated. The results demonstrate that fiber surface conditions significantly influence the fiber-matrix interfacial bond, which, in turn, determines
The degree of mechanical reinforcement that could be obtained by the introduction of henequen cellulosic fibers in a low-density polyethylene, LDPE, matrix was assessed experimentally. Composite materials of LDPE-henequen cellulosic fibers were prepared by mechanical mixing. The concentration of ran
