Development of Flax Fibre based Textile Reinforcements for Composite Applications (2006, methodology): “, using maleic-anhydrate grafted PP [2–4] the resulting improved properties are not sufficient enough for the use of these composites to primary or load-bearing applications due to the random fibre distribution – the strength of the composite is still dominated by the polymer matrix rather than the ”
