• A review of bast fibres and their composites. Part 2 - Composites (2010, background): “Madsen et al [3] have developed a model to predict the volumetric composition (volume fractions of fibres, matrix and porosity) and density of composites as a function of the fibre weight fraction.”
• A review of recent developments in natural fibre composites and their mechanical performance (2016, background): “This has shown that maximum volume fractions of fibre occur around fibre contents of 50–60 m% with further addition of fibre resulting in higher porosity rather than increased fibre volume fraction, the influence of which has been incorporated into rule of mixtures models and shown to improve accura”
• Developing plant fibre composites for structural applications by optimising composite parameters: a critical review (2013, background): “Typically, the void volume fraction is up to 5% for PFRPs with a fibre volume fraction below 40% [136, 141, 142, 152, 169, 174].”
