International audienceFibre size distribution and the way how fibres are breaking during compounding with polypropylene were analysed. Two types of cellulose-based fibres were used: natural flax and man-made (regenerated) cellulose, Tencel. No significant influence of Tencel initial fibre size on its final size after processing was observed. However, the fibre type and the presence of defects have a stronger effect on the rupture. The value of the average final length of flax fibres was found to be similar to the distance between kink bands. In order to understand fibre rupture mechanisms, they were observed using a rheo-optical system which enabled visualization of fibre break-up. All fibres studied broke by fatigue after an accumulation o...
