Abstract

There are currently no standardized methods to assess the quality of the interface/interphase in natural fibre reinforced composites. Nevertheless different approaches have been developed and are widely used by the scientific and industrial communities. This last chapter proposes a review of the experimental techniques modelling approaches used to investigate the interface/interphase in natural fibres composites and quantify the interfacial adhesion.
