• Coir Fibre Reinforcement and Application in Polymer Composites: A Review (2013, background): “Because of its open structure containing many hydroxyl and acetyl groups, hemicellulose is partly soluble in water and hygroscopic [13].”
• Vegetal fibers in polymeric composites: a review (2015, background): “The amount of each element as well as morphology and properties of fibers are dependent on the plant species, crop production, place of extraction, plant age, plant part chosen and soil conditions where they were grown[3-6].”
• Isolation and Characterization of Cellulose Nanocrystals from Agave angustifolia Fibre (2013, background): “Hemicellulose is hygroscopic due to its open structure containing hydroxyl and acetyl groups (Frederick and Norman 2004).”
