Alfa fibres: Mechanical, morphological and interfacial characterization
Abstract
Alfa fibres are cellulose-based fibres extracted from the esparto grass. Their application in polymer composites requires the understanding of their structure and mechanical properties. This paper describes the morphology of the fibres, as observed by electron and optical microscopy. The tensile properties were obtained from single filament tensile tests, resulting in values of approximately 20 GPa and 250 MPa for tensile modulus and yield strength, respectively. The results were interpreted using a two-parameter Weibull distribution. Single filament composites with polypropylene matrix were used to study the level of fibre/matrix interactions expected for this system, from fragmentation tests.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
