Industrial hemp fibre was treated with alkali and the influence of this treatment on interfacial shear strength (assessed using the single fibre pull-out test) and composite strength with an epoxy resin, over a range of epoxy resin to curing agent ratios, was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy was conducted to assess the fracture behaviour of the composite tensile test specimens. It was found that alkali treatment increased the interfacial shear strength and composite tensile strength, Young’s modulus and elongation at break. The highest tensile strength was obtained with an epoxy resin to curing agent ratio of 1:1 while the best Young’s modulus was achieved with a resin to curing agent ratio of 1:1.2.

Natural fibres are becoming more and more important as reinforcement in polymer based materials. Knowledge of interfacial shear strength and critical fibre length is important for the assessment of the mechanical properties of the composite and the estimation of the resultant fibre length distribution. This is particularly true for injection moulded reinforced thermoplastic parts. Because of the problems with the preparation of micro-mechanical specimens from natural fibres and thermoplastics, in the presented paper the characteristic values are calculated from macroscopic composite strength data.
