The effective properties of fiber reinforced materials depend strongly on the properties of the interface between the phases. In the particular case of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics, this bonding is inherently weak and needs to be improved, e.g., by addition of compatibilyzers. Reliable experimental setups are needed in order to investigate the effects of such additives on the interface properties. In this contribution, the sensitivity of push out experiments with respect to the microstructure and test setup are examined in order to find such an experimental configuration.
