Prediction of tensile properties of injection moulding flax fibre reinforced polypropylene from morphology analysis

The Young modulus and tensile strength of flax fibre reinforced polypropylene were determined and compared with the micromechanical models usually used in the case of short glass fibre reinforced composites. The fibre length and fibre diameter distributions of the injected reinforced of 2, 4, 8 and...
