TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the origin of the diameter-dependence of Young's modulus in hemp fibres and showed that the modulus is dependent on the size of the lumen and on the outer fibre diameter.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of moisture on the mechanical properties of hemp fibres was investigated using a versatile experimental setup, where the authors measured the rotation of a fiber about its axis when it was subjected to static loading and moisture variations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possible mechanisms responsible for the nonlinear tensile behavior of the hemp fiber reinforced composites, using repeated progressive tensile loading with in situ polarised light microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the internal structure of hemp fibres using focused ion beam (FIB) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) was investigated and two types of internal structures were observed: (i) elementary fibres with a thick wall and small lumen and (ii) bundle of small fibres having an external diameter of a few microns.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the tensile creep behavior of single hemp fibres under constant and cyclic loading coupled to constant or variable moisture content environment, and they showed that the primary creep strain rate of such fibres decreases with the increasing stress, while the secondary creep strain rates increases.
