A Review on Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite and Its Applications
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the most appropriate and widely used natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) and their applications is presented in this paper. But, the results of the review are limited due to the high water absorption, inferior fire resistance, and lower mechanical properties of NFPCs.

Engineering and evaluation of hemp fibre reinforced polypropylene composites: Fibre treatment and matrix modification
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fiber treatments and MAPP content on the tensile strength and Young's modulus of composites was investigated, and the optimum composite, consisting of polypropylene, 40-wt% NaOH/Na 2 SO 3 treated hemp fibre and 4-wwt% MAPP, was found to have a strength of 50.5MPa and a Young's Modulus of 5.31GPa.
