Interface strength in glass fibre-polypropylene measured using the fibre pull-out and microdebond methods [PDF]
, 2009 Interface strength in glass fibre-polypropylene was measured using both fibre pull-out and microdebond methods. Excellent compatibility between two methods was obtained. The data from microdebond test could be divided into two groups according to whether

Development and characterisation of injection moulded, all-polypropylene composites [PDF]
, 2012 In this work, all-polypropylene composites (all-PP composites) were manufactured by injection moulding. Prior to injection moulding, pre-impregnated pellets were prepared by a three-step process (filament winding, compression moulding and pelletizing).
