Effect of Fiber Loading on the Mechanical Properties of Kenaf and Fiberfrax Fiber-reinforced Phenol-Formaldehyde Composites (2010, background): “In automotive parts, compared to glass composites, the composites made from natural fibers reduce the mass of the component and can lower the energy needed for production by 80% [2].”
Studies on the Water Absorption Properties of Short Hemp—Glass Fiber Hybrid Polypropylene Composites (2007, unknown): “Several researchers exploited the reinforcing potential of hemp fibers in developing thermoplastic and thermoset composites using different forms of hemp fibers and various processing techniques [19–26].”
Developments in Chemical Treatments, Manufacturing Techniques and Potential Applications of Natural-Fibers-Based Biodegradable Composites (2021, background): “Lower wettability is still a challenge for their extensive use in industries [14], even though the strength of these natural fibers is comparable to synthetic fibers [15,16].”
