Influence of fiber content on the mechanical and thermal properties of Kenaf fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composites (2012, background): “Lots of work has been done to study the effect of fiber loading on the mechanical properties [16–19].”
Green composites based on polypropylene matrix and hydrophobized spend coffee ground (SCG) powder (2015, background): “Natural fillers are acquiring increasing importance as reinforcing materials in composites due to some advantages they provide such as low cost, low density, no toxicity, balanced mechanical properties and a clear lower environmental impact [3, 4].”
