• Cellulose reinforced polymer composites and nanocomposites: a critical review (2013, background): “The majority of artificial composites use thermosetting resins and polymers, like unsaturated polyester (Vilay et al. 2008), phenolic resin (Zarate et al. 2008), epoxy resin (Zhou et al. 2006) and rubber (Setua and De 1984), and thermoplastic polymers, such as poly(ethylene) (Lu et al. 2007),…”
• Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, background): “The flexural properties of thermoset resins, such as cardanol reinforced with hemp, ramie, jute and flax fibers [462], epoxy resin with coir fibers [463], and hemp, kenaf, flax and henequen fibers [464], polyester resin reinforced bagasse fibers [465], coir and oil palm fibers [466], hemp and kenaf ”
• A review on the characterisation of natural fibres and their composites after alkali treatment and water absorption (2017, background): “increase in fibre loading of the bagasse fibre in unsaturated polyester composites resulted in higher tensile and flexural properties in comparison to the composite with the untreated fibres [52].”
• Kenaf fiber reinforced composites: A review (2011, background): “The main disadvantage encountered during the addition of natural fibers, including kenaf fiber into a polymer matrix, is the lack of good interfacial adhesion between the two components, which results in poor properties in the final product [32–34].”
• 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].”
• Environmental effects on the mechanical behaviour of pultruded jute/glass fibre-reinforced polyester hybrid composites (2014, positive): “However, it is worth mentioning that the diffusion coefficients obtained in this study show values close to those reported in literature, namely in the range 10 –10 11 m/s [4,25,26,28,30].”
