• Seawater ageing of flax/poly(lactic acid) biocomposites (2009, methodology): “The manufacturing route may be important, for example Sreekumar et al [8] showed that for sisal/polyester the weight gain for composites produced by RTM (Resin Transfer Molding), was lower than for those produced by compression moulding.”
• Critical factors on manufacturing processes of natural fibre composites (2012, background): “After cooling, the part is then removed from the mould [62].”
• Environmental effects on the mechanical behaviour of pultruded jute/glass fibre-reinforced polyester hybrid composites (2014, unknown): “The analysis of the diffusion mechanism and kinetics was therefore performed in accordance with Fick’s theory, which has been applied in previous studies on cellulose fibre reinforced composites [14,29,33,34].”
• Natural fiber–reinforced composites: A review on material, manufacturing, and machinability (2019, background): “lower void content and water absorption characteristics of composites fabricated by RTM due to good fiber/matrix interaction when compared to CM.(65) In brief, RTM is a versatile manufacturing method that can be used to manufacture large, complex parts with high strength-to-weight requirements from ”
• Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, methodology): “A comparison of the RTM process to the compression molding process [416] of sisal fiber reinforced polyester composites was made.”
• A review of recent developments in natural fibre composites and their mechanical performance (2016, background): “Although increasing fibre length generally increases fibre load bearing efficiency, if fibre length is too long the fibres may get tangled during mixing resulting in poor fibre dispersion which can reduce the overall reinforcement efficiency [41–43].”
