Reinforcement of plasticized wheat gluten with natural fibers : From mechanical improvement to deplasticizing effect (2008, background): “[35], showing that an alkali treatment reduce the inter-fibrillar region of the fibers, thus leading to a more homogenous dispersion of fibers in the matrix and a better interaction between fibers and matrix, resulting in the enhancement of the composite mechanical properties.”
Kenaf fiber reinforced composites: A review (2011, background): “Furthermore, the incorporation of kenaf fiber as a filler in a polymer matrix is often associated with agglomeration, as a result of insufficient dispersion caused by the tendency of fibers to form hydrogen bonds with each other [35,36].”
