Industrial Hemp Fibers: An Overview (2019, background): “However, at high concentrations of NaOH, Mwaikambo and Ansell [82] and Pickering et al. [24] observed a reduction in thermal resistance and a decrease in strength in the hemp fibers, which were attributed to the degradation of cellulose.”
A review of recent developments in natural fibre composites and their mechanical performance (2016, background): “Although the use of more intensive mixing processes such as using a twin-screw extruder rather than a single screw extruder leads to better fibre dispersion, this is generally at the cost of fibre damage and fibre lengths are found to reduce dramatically during such processing depending on temperatu”
Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, background): “Pickering and his co-workers [400–403] extensively investigated hemp fiber reinforced PP composites used in the injection molding process.”
