• Progress of novel techniques for lightweight automobile applications through innovative eco-friendly composite materials: A review (2020, background): “Further they explained this behavior by the screening effects of natural fibers; moreover, lignin present in natural fibers possesses strong UV absorbing characteristics thus providing protection against UV degradation.(100,101)”
• Effect of UV and water spraying on the mechanical properties of flax fabric reinforced polymer composites used for civil engineering applications (2015, background): “Tensile strength and modulus for composites were found to decrease due to embrittlement of the matrix, degradation of fibre and fibre/matrix interfacial bonding which are evidenced by increased fibre pull-out, as explained by Beg and Pickering [38] who studied the degradation of kraft wood fibre rei”
• Physical, chemical and surface properties of wheat husk, rye husk and soft wood and their polypropylene composites (2010, background): “found that removing lignin from wood fibre provides higher amount of free hydroxyl group on the cellulose which results better interfacial bonding with the polymer matrix [28].”
