The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

All-cellulose composites by surface selective dissolution of aligned ligno-cellulosic fibres (2008, background): “Consequently, in recent years, natural fibres have attracted more and more interest as reinforcements for both thermoplastic and thermosetting polymer composites [1-6].”
Polyethylene reinforced with keratin fibers obtained from chicken feathers (2005, background): “Most studies of naturally occurring organic fibers concentrate on cellulose-based fibers obtained from renewable plant resources such as wood [3–11], cotton [12], flax [13], sisal [14,15], jute [16], hemp [17], ramie [18], and bamboo [19].”
Flax fibre and its composites – A review (2014, background): “[54] investigated the effect of fibre volume fraction on the mechanical properties of flax mat/recycled HDPE composites by film stacking and compression moulding.”
Development of Flax Fibre based Textile Reinforcements for Composite Applications (2006, background): “Glass fibre reinforced composites, although they have been used very successfully in many applications, cannot be easily mechanically or thermally (through incineration) recycled [1].”
