Wood Fiber Reinforced Polyethylene and Polypropylene Composites with High Modulus and Impact Strength (2008, background): “Many natural fibers, such as sisal, jute, wood fiber, sugarcane, wheat, and, flax straw fiber can be used as fillers to improve mechanical properties and reduce the shrinkage of materials [1–5].”
Influence of chemical treatments on the mechanical and water absorption properties of bamboo fiber composites (2011, background): “Similar results have been reported earlier with permanganate-treated sisal fiber.(15) The strong interfacial bonding can be observed from the SEM micrograph of the tensile fracture surface of the composite (Figure 5(b)).”
Luffa cylindrica as a lignocellulosic source of fiber, microfibrillated cellulose, and cellulose nanocrystals (2010, neutral): “729 common natural fibers like sisal (1.26 to 1.45 g/cm3) (Sydendtricker et al. 2003; Li et al. 2000), hemp (1.48 g/cm3), coir (1.25 g/cm3), ramie (1.5 g/cm3), and cotton (1.51 to 1.6 g/cm3) (Wambua et al. 2003; Bledzki, and Gassan 1999).”
