Influence of drying on the mechanical behaviour of flax fibres and their unidirectional composites (2012, background): “The composite structure of these plant fibres is highly anisotropic [13,23] with a transverse modulus for flax of around 7 GPa [13].”
Recycling of bioplastics, their blends and biocomposites: A review (2013, methodology): “To analyse rigidity after recycling, the experimental tensile test values were applied in micromechanical models, taking the aspect ratio changes into account, to estimate the stiffness of the PP/ vegetal fibre-injected composites before and after recycling [100].”
Chemical, morphological and mechanical analysis of sisal fiber-reinforced recycled high-density polyethylene composites (2010, background): “The exceptional mechanical characteristics of sisal are already making its application in automotive industry and civil construction possible [13, 14].”
Relationships between micro-fibrillar angle, mechanical properties and biochemical composition of flax fibers (2013, unknown): “In Europe, the most interesting are flax and hemp fibers, due to their high-performance specific mechanical properties [1], their environmental and ecological benefits [2], as well as their low cost.”
