Sound-Absorption Properties of Materials Made of Esparto Grass Fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the use of raw esparto grass as an environmentally friendly sound-absorbing material is explored, and measurements of the normal-incidence sound absorption coefficient and airflow resistivity of three different types of espartos from different countries are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Keratin fibres derived from tannery industry wastes for flame retarded PLA composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a specific process for extracting and treating KFs as reinforcing and flame retardant agents for poly(lactic acid) composites was used, and the results showed that a good KF/polymer matrix adhesion was observed.

Strength failure criteria analysis for a flax fibre reinforced composite
Rachel S. Koh,Bo Madsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Hashin and Puck failure theories are recommended for multidirectional flax fiber composite laminates, and they have the smallest error compared to experimental data.

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.
