Flexural behaviour of hybrid laminated composites (2007, background): “In particular, the polypropylene offers several favorable characteristics like low price, high toughness, low density, relatively high thermal stability, good (di)electrical properties, chemical resistance, easy processing and recycling ability [6,13,16,17].”
Influence of the degree of retting of flax fibers on the tensile properties of single fibers and short fiber/polypropylene composites (2013, result): “This increase in second weight loss is consistent with previously published studies (Sharma and Faughey, 1999; Sharma et al., 1999; Van de Velde and Kiekens, 2001).”
A Review on Potentiality of Nano Filler/Natural Fiber Filled Polymer Hybrid Composites (2014, background): “The characteristic properties of natural fibers are affected by many factors, such as climatic conditions, maturity, harvesting and collection time, retting degree, decortications, disintegration (mechanical, steam explosion treatment), fiber modification, textile, and technical processes [29].”
Cellulose-Based Bio- and Nanocomposites: A Review (2011, background): “The properties of cellulose fibers are affected by many factors such as variety, climate, harvest, maturity, retting degree, decortications, disintegration (mechanical, steam explosion treatment), fiber modification, textile, and technical processes (spinning and carding) [18].”
