• Physical and Chemical Modifications of Plant Fibres for Reinforcement in Cementitious Composites (2019, background): “Although synthetic bres are the most common type of bre reinforcements used in composites, the interest in NF as reinforcement has grown because of its low cost, weight reduction, nontoxicity, ease of recyclability, and biodegradability [34, 35].”
• Vegetal fibers in polymeric composites: a review (2015, background): “The amount of each element as well as morphology and properties of fibers are dependent on the plant species, crop production, place of extraction, plant age, plant part chosen and soil conditions where they were grown[3-6].”
