Influence of chemical treatments on the mechanical and water absorption properties of bamboo fiber composites (2011, methodology): “The epoxy has been diluted in acetone, and tests show that this has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the composite.(25) The adhesion between industrial hemp fibers and unsaturated polyester (UPE) matrix was increased by treatment of hemp fiber surface with UPE (matrix).”
Environmental effects on the mechanical behaviour of pultruded jute/glass fibre-reinforced polyester hybrid composites (2014, unknown): “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”
Application of lignin as natural adhesion promoter in cotton fibre-reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites (2008, background): “It is quite evident that mechanical and thermal composite properties could be increased tremendously by these surface treatments [4].”

Modification and Characterization of Hemp and Sisal Fibers (2014, methodology): “A solution of 1 wt% silane in ethanol:DI water (1:1 ratio), (adjust pH to 4 by adding 2% acetic acid) was stirred for 2 h in a closed lid plastic container under hood to complete hydrolysis (Mehta et al. 2005).”
