This paper reports on the development of a prepreg-based fabrication technique to manufacture single fibre pull-out test specimens for conducting interfacial bond strength studies. Optical fibres were embedded in 2 and 16-ply unidirectional glass fibre prepreg and processed in an autoclave using conventional procedures. Fibre pull-out tests were conducted on these specimens and the data obtained are comparable to those reported in the literature.

The paper discusses a simple specimen geometry to obtain the fibre/cement interfacial shear strength (IFSS). The specimens are easy to prepare and easy to test. The technique gives reliable and reproducible results. IFSS results for five different fibres with cement were measured. Most IFSS values obtained are in the range of 0.15 to 1.5 MPa. Despite the simplicity of the technique presented in this study, the results are in agreement with those obtained by several other researchers using different techniques and specimen geometry.

The mechanical properties of fibre reinforced polymer composites strongly depend on the interfacial bonding between fibre and matrix. The main objective of this paper is to compare the interfacial bonding between kenaf fibre reinforced POM with that of PET fibre reinforced POM in a hybrid composite. Continuous twisted kenaf, and PET yarn were used for the investigation. Each fibre yarn was half embedded in POM by compression moulding. The yarns were extracted from the matrix by single fibre pull out test method. The result of the investigation revealed that the interfacial shear strength of approximately 31.4 MPa between kenaf and POM is higher compared to 24.3 MPa obtained between PET fibre and POM. This may be due to higher surface energy of kenaf fibre with respect to POM in the composite The FESEM micrograph further demonstrates good interfacial adhesion between kenaf and POM in the composite.

Abstract Natural fibre–reinforced composites are more sustainable than other composites with respect to the raw materials. Their properties are attractive due to high specific properties, and especially so wherever high damping is valued. As the interphase between fibre and matrix is the region of highest stresses, a strong bond between fibre and matrix is essential for any composites’ properties. The present study compares two methods of determining the interfacial shear stress in natural fibre–reinforced composites: the single fibre fragmentation test and the single fibre pullout test. The studied composites are flax fibre reinforced epoxy. For a variety of fibre–matrix interaction, the fibres are treated with a laccase enzyme and dopamine, which is known to improve the fibre–matrix shear strength. In the observed samples, single fibre fragmentation test data, i.e. of fracture mode and fragment length, scatter when compared to pullout data. In single fibre pullout tests, the local interfacial shear strength showed a 30% increase in the laccase-treated samples, compared to the control samples. The method also permitted an evaluation of the frictional stress occurring after surface failure.

There exist the problems such as low bond strength and bad durability in the ordinary grouting slurry of the ground anchor system at present. The high-performance grouting mediums RPC (Reactive Powder Concrete) and DSP (Densified Systems containing homogeneously arranged ultrafine Particles) would become the potential replacement of grouting medium in ground anchor resulting from their high compressive strength, durability and toughness. Based on a series of pull-out tests on ground anchors with different high-performance grouting medium of RPC and DSP , different bond length in the construction field, the bond performance on the interfaces between anchor bolt (deformed steel bar) and grouted medium as well as between grouted medium and rock mass was studied. The results indicate that the interfacial bond strength between RPC or DSP and deformed steel bolt ranges within 23-31Mpa, far greater than that (about 2-3MPa) between the ordinary cementitious grout and deformed steel bar. Even though the interfacial bond strength between the grouted medium and rock mass of limestone was not obtained in the test since the failure mode was pull-out of those steel bar rather than the interface shear failure between grouted medium and rock mass, the bond stress on the interface reached 6.2-8.38 MPa, also far greater than the bond strength (about 0.1-3MPa) between the ordinary cementitious slurry and rocks.

Interfacial bond strength is one of the vital mechanical properties of adhesives. The cross-bonded method, which is widely used to measure the interfacial tensile and shear bond strength simultaneously, has attracted extensive attention. An improved cross-bonded method is presented in this study in order to promote the accuracy and reliability of the testing results. The ergo 9900 glue, E-7 glue, AB glue and 502 glue were measured in this study. Compared with the original method, the results of the improved cross-bonded method show that: (i) the coefficient of variation of the interfacial bond strength decreased significantly; (ii) the interfacial shear bond strength of the adhesives is closer to its true value.
