Tensile strength of pine needles and their feasibility as reinforcement in composite materials

A feasibility study concerning the use of pine needles from Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster) trees as reinforcement in composite materials has been presented in this paper with the tensile strength being investigated for a total of 150 specimens at three gauge lengths, namely 50, 75 and 100 mm. In ord...
