Abstract
Single glass and Kevlar fibers were embedded in a ductile low density polyethylene and the forces required to pull them out were measured. The plot of debonding force vs. embedded length was not a straight line, and involved a maximum Edear stress of up to 15 MPa, which was greater than the estimated shear strength of the polyethylene. Debonding appeared to be a brittle fracture process, with a work of fracture of 110 Jm ^โ2^ or less.

## 1. Introduction Interfacial debonding at the embedded end rather than at the loaded end of the fiber during fiber pull-out is considered in the present study. When the embedded-end face of the fiber is not bonded to the matrix, the local maximum interracial shear stress occurs not only at the lo
