title = "Study of the interfacial properties of fique fiber reinforced polyethylene aluminium",
abstract = "By using a pull-out test the mechanical bonding at the interface fique fiber-Low Density Polyethylene-Aluminum (LDPE-Al) matrix was measured. Experimental results of the shear stress at the interface point out that a critical length of 21 mm optimally transfers the stresses from the matrix to the fiber. In addition, a volume of 50\% fique fiber showed better mechanical strength when compared to volumes of 10 and 30\%. Optimization of the critical length and volume ratio (fique fiber/matrix) allowed the manufacturing of boards using a hot plate machine.",
