Abstract
The mechanical properties of an injection moulded sisal-PP composite were investigated by tensile and single fibre pull-out tests. An analytical model based on the rule of mixtures accounting for the different modes of load transfer between matrix and fibre and their changeover was derived and verified against the experimental findings and literature data. Close agreement between the model and experimental results was achieved at low fibre contents (below 20 wt.%) and fibre contents exceeding 40 weight percent. 22 refs.
