Abstract

It is shown that the interfacial parameters of a composite system which include the interfacial shear strength, the interfacial coefficient of friction, and the shrinkage pressure can be determined using the proposed model for the debonding and pull-out processes. The effect of the matrix morphology and the fibre surface treatment on the interfacial parameters, and hence on the mechanical properties, for a glass fibre-polypropylene system was determined.
