Abstract
Several types of oil palm and pineapple fibre reinforced phenol formaldehyde composites were investigated by fracture mechanics and acoustic emission response. It was found that the fracture behaviour was influenced by the fibre content, the length of the fibres and the condition of the fibre-matrix interface. Single edge-notched tensile specimens were cut from composite plates and examined, and the fracture toughness was determined from force-elongation curves. Results showed that the failure mode for untreated and treated fibres varied, and that surface treatment of the fibres was more important than the fibre content. 9 refs.
