• Water absorption behavior of cellulosic fibres polymer composites: A review on its effects and remedies (2020, methodology): “The percentage water uptakes of composites; recycled newspaper filled polypropylene/natural rubber [115], PP/wood flour foamed [116] and sisal fibre and low-density polypropylene [53] was diminished by using of MAPP as a coupling agent.”

• Effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of hemp fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composites (2007, background): “After water aging for 888 h, strain is almost doubled compared to dry specimens since natural fibre reinforced composites tend to be ductile once the loss of cellulose and integrity has taken place [36].”
• Long term immersion in natural seawater of Flax/PLA biocomposite (2014, background): “During the aging process some components located on the fibre surface are washed out of the sample, which leads to interfacial debonding and change to the interfacial area (Dhakal et al., 2007; Joseph et al., 2002; Le Duigou et al., 2013).”
• Effect of water absorption on pultruded jute/glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composites (2012, background): “In principle, the diffusion process of water in polymers and polymeric composites may depart from the idealizations inherent in the classical formulation of Fick’s law.(9,20,21) Since the moisture uptake does not reach equilibrium, a non-Fickian moisture absorption process may have significant effec”
