Effects of water immersion ageing on the mechanical properties of flax and jute fibre biocomposites evaluated by nanoindentation and flexural testing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used flax and jute fibres as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites, but due to their susceptibility to moisture, flax fibres are unsuitable for reinforcement.

Effect of basalt fibre hybridisation on post-impact mechanical behaviour of hemp fibre reinforced composites Part A Applied science and manufacturing
Hom Nath Dhakal,Fabrizio Sarasini,Carlo Santulli,Jacopo Tirillò,Zhongyi Zhang,Vellayaraj Arumugam +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hybridisation of basalt fiber on post-impact behaviour and damage tolerance capability of hemp fibre reinforced composites were explored. But the authors did not consider the impact properties of the composite materials.

Determination of dynamic elastic modulus of polymeric materials using vertical split Hopkinson pressure bar
Yinggang Miao,Yinggang Miao,Yulong Li,Hong-Yuan Liu,Qiong Deng,Luming Shen,Yiu-Wing Mai,Yazhou Guo,Tao Suo,Haitao Hu,Fa-Qin Xie,Long Zhao,Yong-Jian Mao,Wei Qi +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the determination of dynamic elastic modulus of polymer materials under high strain rate loading using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique and concluded through theoretical analysis and numerical calculations that the influence of stress inequilibrium becomes negligible after two characteristic times.

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.
