The interfacial properties were investigated using single fibre fragmentation tests to examine the effects of physical modification using PGF/PLA or PCL single fibre composites.
In the current study, interfacial adhesion of date palm fibre with epoxy matrix is experimentally investigated using single fibre pull out technique.
ECC has been produced using single type of fibre (mono-fibre).
Using single nerve fibres from crabs, or single giant nerve fibres from squids, Hodgkin showed that if the bathing solution were replaced by oil or air, so that only a thin layer of salt solution was available to conduct current outside the fibre, the speed of the action potential was reduced.
Apparent fibre/matrix adhesion was assessed using a single fibre pull-out test and a single fibre fragmentation test.
Characterisation of the interfacial properties between the fibre and matrix was conducted using the single fibre fragmentation test (SFFT) and Kelly Tyson model [ 26].
Silane treatment contents between 0% and 1% are used, and single fibre pullout tests are conducted to measure the bond characteristics of the fibre to the cementitious matrix.
Serge was originally made of silk or wool but is now sometimes made of other single fibres or of wool blended with other fibres.
The genetic backgrounds of single fibres used here are described in [25].
They are lightweight and low cost as compared with using a single type of fibre to make structural components, which may be over-strength and not cost-competitive.
