Comparative studies of mechanical and morphological properties of polylactic acid and polypropylene based natural fiber composites (2012, result): “Young’s modulus of the fiber mat reinforced composite is directly related to the mat structure, its type, content, and physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of natural fibers.(28) The increase in tensile strength, modulus, and elongation at break of PLAbased bio-composites is also supported ”

Studies on Mechanical and Morphological Characterization of Developed Jute/Hemp/Flax Reinforced Hybrid Composites for Structural Applications (2018, background): “Tensile modulus of composite laminates having several natural fiber mats is mainly governed by natural fiber properties, natural fiber length to diameter ratio, mat structure and its orientation in the laminate (Bajpai, Singh, and Madaan 2012; Gomes et al. 2007).”
Multi-scale hybrid biocomposite: Processing and mechanical characterization of bamboo fiber reinforced PLA with microfibrillated cellulose (2009, methodology): “The bamboo fibers, procured from the international market and supplied as a soft bundle shape, were treated with an alkali solution (NaOH) to remove xylem [42].”
Utilization of sweet sorghum fiber to reinforce fly ash-based geopolymer (2014, background): “[52] reported that alkali-treated natural fiberreinforced composites showed two to three times increase in fracture strain compared to untreated fiber-reinforced composites, without significant loss in strength.”
Cellulose nanofibers from curaua fibers (2010, background): “Curaua fibers are soft and resistant; they are used as raw material applied to polymer composites by the textile and automotive industries (Monteiro et al. 2006; Gomes et al. 2007 ).”
Effects of alkali treatment and elevated temperature on the mechanical properties of bamboo fibre–polyester composites (2015, background): “5 also reduces the aggregation of fibre in the matrix and increases surface roughness which improves the interlocking between the fibre and matrix [15-16].”
Development and characterization of PLA-based green composites (2014, methodology): “Alexandre Gomes et al.46 developed fully green composites by reinforcing a cornstarch-based biodegradable resin with curaua fibers through three fabrication methods which are as follows: (a) direct method (DM); (b) preforming methods (PF) and (c) prepreg sheet method (PS).”
