520	3		_aChemical treatment of natural reinforcements can enhance their adhesion to polymer matrices. This work reports the effects of different treatments on the fibre-matrix compatibility in terms of surface energy and mechanical properties of composites. The composites were compounded with two kinds of flax fibres (natural flax and flax pulp)and polypropylene. The applied treatments were maleic anhydride (MA), maleic anhydride-polypropylene copolymer (MAPP)and vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMO). The treatment effects on the fibres have been characterised by Infrared Spectroscopy. Two techniques have been used to determine the surface energy values: the Dynamic Contact Angle method for the long flax fibres and the Capillary Rise method for the irregular pulps. The use of different methods involves a small discordance in the wettability values. Nevertheless, the three treatments reduce the polar component of the surface energy of the fibre. Composites containing MAPP-treated did the highest mechanical properties, whilst the MA and VTMO-treated fibre gave similar values to that for the untreated ones.
