Characterization of natural fiber and composites – A review (2013, methodology): “Also, the micrometer was used to measure the coir fiber diameter with differential length interval.(29) A sample of 100 fibers was randomly taken from an agave fiber bundle and the diameter was measured using the air wedge method.”
Characterization of physical, mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of agro-waste betel nut (Areca catechu) husk fibre (2014, background): “Lignin also responsible for the colour changes from yellow coloured fibre at ripe stage, to more brownish appearance at matured stage (Bavan and Kumar, 2010).”
Studies on hybridization effect of jute/kenaf/E-glass woven fabric epoxy composites for potential applications: Effect of laminate stacking sequences (2018, background): “Bangladesh, India, China, and Thailand provide the best conditions for the growth of jute plant [3, 4].”
Applications of Natural Fibers and Its Composites: An Overview (2016, background): “The adoption of natural fiber composites in this industry is led by motives of price, weight reduction, and marketing rather than technical demands [5].”
Synergy of fiber length and content on free vibration and damping behavior of natural fiber reinforced polyester composite beams (2014, background): “Owing to the smaller diameter of banana fiber (from 100 to 300 lm [36,22]), a thicker interface could appear, causing higher damping than sisal, as reported by Bledzki et al.”
