Investigation of the internal structure of hemp fibres using optical coherence tomography and Focused Ion Beam transverse cutting
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.

Nonlinear tensile behaviour of elementary hemp fibres: a numerical investigation of the relationships between 3D geometry and tensile behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the cross-sectional shape of primary hemp bast fibres and their tensile behavior was investigated using a 3D viscoelastic model based on finite element method.

Impact and flexural properties of stone-ground wood pulp-reinforced polypropylene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the flexural and impact strength of polypropylene reinforced with stone ground wood pulp (SGWP) and the effect of a maleated-polypropylene coupling agent on the mechanical properties of these composites were analyzed using the Cox-Krenchel model.

Fabrication of hydrophobic biocomposite by combining cellulosic fibers with polyhydroxyalkanoate
TL;DR: In this paper, a hydrophobic biodegradable composite consisting of natural cellulosic fiber matrix and bio-derived polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) was fabricated by dip-coating, in which PHA was grafted using maleic anhydride to improve its compatibility with cellulosaic fibers.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
