• CELLULOSIC NANOCOMPOSITES: A REVIEW (2008, methodology): “The inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method appears to be well suited to such applications (Joly et al. 1996; Trejo-O’Reilly et al. 1998; Matuana et al. 1998; Kazayawoko et al. 1999; Zafeiropoulos et al. 2002a,b; Heng et al. 2007).”
• Modification and Characterization of Hemp and Sisal Fibers (2014, background): “On the other hand, the case of increase in crystallinity index can be attributed to the treatment that possibly has partially removed the fiber amorphous contents such as pectin, and lignin (Zafeiropoulos et al. 2002).”
• A review of natural fiber composites: properties, modification and processing techniques, characterization, applications (2019, methodology): “[98, 190] Flax fiber/polypropylene composite 20 Compression molding Improved stress transfer efficiency at the interface of fiber and resin by determining the optimum treatment time Luz et al.”
• Functionalization, Compatibilization and Properties of Polyolefin Composites with Natural Fibers (2010, methodology): “Effective methods of chemical modification of fibers have been developed by means of reaction with various reactive monomers, such as acetic anhydride, stearic acid [4], maleic anhydride [5,6], glycidyl methacrylate [7], silane and isocyanate [8].”
• Influence of the degree of retting of flax fibers on the tensile properties of single fibers and short fiber/polypropylene composites (2013, background): “For example, silane, alkaline and acetylation treatments have been studied (Bledzki, 2008; Bledzki et al., 2004; Cantero et al., 2003; Elsabbagh et al., 2009; Hornsby et al., 1997; Zafeiropoulos et al., 2002a, 2002b).”
• Industrial applications of natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites – challenges and opportunities (2018, background): “Generally, natural fibres are lignocellulosic in nature consisting of cellulose microfibrils in helical form in the matrix of hemicelluloses and lignin (Young 1986; Mohanty, Misra, and Drzal 2001; Zafeiropoulos et al. 2002).”
