• Developing plant fibre composites for structural applications by optimising composite parameters: a critical review (2013, background): “There are several excellent review articles available in literature, including [6-8, 20, 56], which provide a wide-ranging critical survey on plant fibres and their composites.”
• Green composites: A review of material attributes and complementary applications (2014, background): “Although this reduces the chance of fibres containing critical flaws which reduce the materials’ tensile strength [19,20], their non-uniform length and shape leads to increased variability [4].”
• A review of recent developments in natural fibre composites and their mechanical performance (2016, background): “Most of the natural fibres used for reinforcement in natural fibre composite are thermally unstable above 200 C, although under some circumstances it is possible for them to be processed at higher temperature for a short period of time [45].”
• A review on the degradability of polymeric composites based on natural fibres (2013, background): “Waxes consist of different types of alcohols [17, 20].”
• The challenges of natural fiber in manufacturing, material selection, and technology application: A review (2018, background): “Some of the mechanical properties of natural fiber, such as the tensile strength and Young’s modulus, grow exponentially with the increase of cellulose.(13) This depends on the micro-fibrillar angle, which determines the strength of the natural fibers.”
• Influence of the degree of retting of flax fibers on the tensile properties of single fibers and short fiber/polypropylene composites (2013, background): “Van de Velde and Baetens (2001) studied tensile properties of flax fiber bundles for different degrees of retting, the tensile strength was lower for the first degree of retting, but the tensile behavior of a bundle is different from the tensile behavior of a single fiber.”

• Targeted pre-treatment of hemp bast fibres for optimal performance in biocomposite materials: A review (2017, background): “A primary restriction for successful use 79 of natural fibres in NFCs is the hydrophilic nature of the cellulose fibres, which, as already mentioned briefly above, 80 may result in moisture sensitivity and low microbiological decay resistance of NFCs (Summerscales et al. 2010a) 81 (Table 2).”
• Re-Emerging Field of Lignocellulosic Fiber – Polymer Composites and Ionizing Radiation Technology in their Formulation (2016, background): “Flax, hemp, jute, ramie, kenaf, isora, and banana fall under the category of bast fibers, which are extracted from the plant after harvesting by rotting the stems by submerging them in ponds or streams.(42,43) Leaves of sisal, agave, abaca, curaua, piassava, and fique are also sources of fibers.”
