• Improving the mechanical properties of natural fibre fabric reinforced epoxy composites by alkali treatment (2012, background): “Flax, hemp, jute, sisal and bamboo are the most popular reinforcement materials in bio-composites because they are cost-effective, have low density with high specific strength and stiffness, and are readily available.(7,8) Nevertheless, natural fibres also possess some negative characteristics, i.”
