• A review of recent developments in natural fibre composites and their mechanical performance (2016, background): “It has been shown to bring about chemical and physical changes of fibres including increased surface polarity (thought to be due to increased carboxyl and hydroxyl groups) and increased fibre roughness but is known to be difficult to apply to threedimensional surfaces including fibres [53,54].”

• Interface and bonding mechanisms of plant fibre composites: An overview (2016, background): “mechanical properties of the plant fibre composites, an appropriate balance needs to be achieved between increased polarity of fibre surface and the decrease of fibre strength subsequent to excessive surface oxidation by UV radiation or corona discharge[72].”
• Industrial applications of natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites – challenges and opportunities (2018, background): “…using natural fibres Use of natural fibres in polymeric composites involves various issues related to moisture absorption, durability, weak interfacial adhesion of fibre and matrix and poor mechanical properties etc.(Gassan and Gutowski 2000; Hirai, Hamada, and Kim 1998; Irfan Ul Haq et al. 2018).”
