In this paper, an attempt was made to use Prosopis juliflora fibres (PJFs) as a reinforcing agent for phenol formaldehyde (PF) composites. Mechanical properties of the composites were studied for various fibre aspect ratios (FAR) and fibre loadings (FL). A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to study the fractured surface of the composites. The peak range of mechanical properties was identified for composites with a FAR of 136 and fibre loading of 23.53 wt%. This study shows that the optimum FAR and fibre loading for PJFs were found to be 136 and 23.53 wt% in order to achieve good reinforcement with better mechanical properties in the PF resin matrix. Experimental results were observed to be in very good agreement with the theoretical.

W pracy podjęto próbę wykorzystania włókien Prosopis juliflora jako środka wzmacniającego żywice fenolowo-formaldehydowe. Przy użyciu elektronowego mikroskopu skaningowego zbadano powierzchnie przełomu kompozytów. Dla różnych wartości wydłużenia włókien (46, 136 i 227 mm) i udziału procentowego włókien w matrycy (4.88, 10.34, 16.51, 23.53 i 31.58 wt%) zbadano właściwości mechaniczne kompozytów. Na podstawie badań stwierdzono, że optymalne wydłużenie i zawartość włókien w matrycy to odpowiednio 136 mm i 23,53 wt%. Wyniki eksperymentalne charakteryzowały się dobrą korelacją z wynikami teoretycznymi.
