Targeted pre-treatment of hemp bast fibres for optimal performance in biocomposite materials: A review (2017, background): “…34 Natural plant fibres such as hemp and flax fibres are currently receiving high research attention for use as reinforcing 35 agents in composites to substitute for synthetic fibres (Fuqua et al., 2012; Joshi et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2016; K. L. 36 Pickering et al., 2007; Van Vuure et al., 2015).”
