• Influence of the degree of retting of flax fibers on the tensile properties of single fibers and short fiber/polypropylene composites (2013, background): “As far as strength is concerned, failure is governed by defects present on the fibers known as kink bands (Baley, 2004), so single fibers would be likely to fail in the weakest zone but not necessarily where the smallest area is.”
• Plant Fiber Formation: State of the Art, Recent and Expected Progress, and Open Questions (2012, background): “…are the amount, the degree of polymerization and cellulose crystallinity, the microfibril angle, and the amount and structure of the noncellulosic polysaccharides (Brutch et al., 2008; Alix et al., 2009), the fiber porosity (the size of the lumen) as well as the presence of defects (Baley, 2004).”
• Mechanical and thermal characterization of epoxy composites reinforced with random and quasi-unidirectional untreated Phormium tenax leaf fibers (2010, background): “In [7] phormium fibers were arranged after pulping to form a hand-prepared mat, a geometry which has been suggested to reduce the micro-compressive defects, also referred to as kink bands, which are a common cause for mechanical weakness of plant fibers [8].”
• Flax fiber and its composites: An overview of water and moisture absorption impact on their performance (2018, background): “This phenomenon was confirmed by Baley.28 In another study, Baley et al.41 also investigated the effects of absorbed water on the tensile properties of elementary flax fibers.”
