Manufacturing and characterization of sustainable hybrid composites using sisal and hemp fibres as reinforcement of poly (lactic acid) via injection moulding (2019, background): “However, it is reported that specific properties of natural fibre reinforced composites are as good as those of the glass fibre reinforced thermoplastics(Thakur and Thakur, 2014).”
Hydrophobic treatment of natural fibers and their composites—A review (2018, background): “Phenolics, epoxy, unsaturated polyester (UP), and vinyl ester are the most widely used thermoset matrices for this purpose [19].”
Flax fiber and its composites: An overview of water and moisture absorption impact on their performance (2018, background): “Furthermore, as the impregnation of the fibers is easier, the manufacturing process requires a lower pressure and facilitates a higher loading of fibers.(33) Undoubtedly, epoxy is the most widely used resin in the flax fiber composite manufacturing processes.”
Industrial Hemp Fibers: An Overview (2019, background): “In general, natural fibers with higher strength and Young’ s modulus have a higher cellulose content, a longer cell length, and a lower microfibrillar angle, such as in the case of hemp fiber [14,20,21].”
A Review on Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite and Its Applications (2015, background): “The performance of NFPCs relies on some factors, like mechanical composition, microfibrillar angle [20], structure [10], defects [22], cell dimensions [23], physical properties [4], chemical properties [24], and also the interaction of a fiber with the matrix [25].”
Natural Fibers as Sustainable and Renewable Resource for Development of Eco-Friendly Composites: A Comprehensive Review (2019, background): “…chemical treatment on ramie fibers has shown that the treatment of fibers with alkaline or saline or the combined treatment results in the improvement of the tensile strength (Gassan and Bledzki, 1997; Thakur and Thakur, 2014; Varghese and Mittal, 2017; Debeli et al., 2018; Sanjay et al., 2019a).”
A comprehensive review of techniques for natural fibers as reinforcement in composites: Preparation, processing and characterization. (2019, background): “Therefore, to obtain the Dittenber Thakur, 2014 best fibers quality, the above-mentioned parameters should be optimized for each type of different fibers.”
