    Abstract

    This paper reports on the development of a prepreg-based fabrication technique to manufacture single fibre pull-out test specimens for conducting interfacial bond strength studies. Optical fibres were embedded in 2 and 16-ply unidirectional glass fibre prepreg and processed in an autoclave using conventional procedures. Fibre pull-out tests were conducted on these specimens and the data obtained are comparable to those reported in the literature.
