Abstract
The interfacial effects in biocomposites (composites reinforced with plant fibres) were studied within the framework of fractal analysis. It has been shown that used methods of fractal analysis allow enough precise quantitative description of the most important characteristics of interfacial interaction polymer matrix- plant fiber, namely, shear strength of interfacial contact and depth of penetration (infiltration) of matrix poly- mer in superficial layer of reinforcing fiber. The fulfilled analysis corresponds fully to results for other types of reinforcing fibers, i.e. plant fibers cannot make in a separate class of reinforcing elements. Diameter of initial fiber serves as basic characteristic for analysis fulfillment.
