- Effect of UV and water spraying on the mechanical properties of flax fabric reinforced polymer composites used for civil engineering applications (2015, background): “The significant increase in the tensile stress and modulus was due to the addition of flax fabric reinforcement since a uniform stress distribution from the polymer matrix is transferred to the unidirectional flax fibre [4].”
- Effects of alkali treatment and elevated temperature on the mechanical properties of bamboo fibre–polyester composites (2015, background): “[35] explained that this can be due to high concentration of chemical treatment which damages the fibres and weakens the bond with the resin matrix.”
