Effect of harvest time and field retting duration on the chemical composition, morphology and mechanical properties of hemp fibers (2015, methodology): “Due to these disadvantages, more efficient and controllable methods have been investigated, including chemical treatment (Song and Obendorf, 2006), mechanical defibration (Vignon et al., 1996), and enzymatic retting (Li and Pickering, 2008).”
Physical and Chemical Modifications of Plant Fibres for Reinforcement in Cementitious Composites (2019, background): “[168] found that the crystallinity and thermal properties improved after separating hemp fibre bundles using enzymes into individual bundles.”
Targeted pre-treatment of hemp bast fibres for optimal performance in biocomposite materials: A review (2017, background): “…separation of hemp fibres has been observed in several studies (Le Troedec et al. 307 2008; Li and Pickering 2008; Liu et al. 2016b) and improved mechanical properties of hemp fibre reinforced polymer 308 composites made from EDTA treated hemp fibres have been reported (Li and Pickering 2008).”
