摘要
The objective of this study is to characterize the tensile properties of New Zealand flax (Phormium tenax) technical fibers to be used as potential reinforcement in polymer matrix composites. Single fiber tensile tests were performed at three gage lengths to assess the effect of gage length on tensile strength and Young's modulus. The results were analyzed through a two-parameter Weibull distribution. The morphology, diameter, and fracture modes of P. tenax fibers were also characterized through optical and scanning electron microscopy.
