Abstract

The interaction and adhesion between fibers and the matrix in composite materials have a significant influence on the properties of the fiber composite. It is, therefore, of utmost importance to be able to evaluate the properties of the interface/ interphase of the fiber-matrix for optimization of the properties of the composites. Techniques that are currently used to evaluate the properties of this region will be discussed with special attention to lignocellulosicthermoplastic composites. Sample preparation, applicability, problems and advantages of each technique will be highlighted. Results obtained at our laboratory for wood-low molecular weight polyethylene systems using the pull-out test will be discussed.
