Abstract

The present work focuses on a comprehensive investigation into the fibre-matrix interface of fique fibre-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites using the single fibre fragmentation test. The objective was to establish the degree of adhesion that exists between fique fibre and PP prior to subsequent surface treatment, which is targeted for a following study.
