• Environmental effects on the mechanical behaviour of pultruded jute/glass fibre-reinforced polyester hybrid composites (2014, neutral): “This situation is even more complicated in the case of natural fibres, which are known to exhibit a poor resistance to water absorption [3,5–9], due to their hydrophilic nature that is related”
