Plant fibers are increasingly used in fabricating polymer composite components useful in the
automotive, construction, and aerospace industries. This surge in the usage of plant fibers in …

Prompted by environmental legislation and citizens' awareness induced by global warming
effects, the market for plant-fibre reinforced composites has been growing steadily for the …

Flax fibres have been used by humans for approximately 10,000 years. With time, the
geographic area of production and cultivation has changed, as have the applications of flax …

This work investigates the effects of fibre content, fibre orientation, and frequency on the
dynamic behaviour of flax fibre-reinforced polypropylene composites (FFPCs) to improve …

Single flax fibres develop morphological deformations, called kink-bands, which are
considered to be areas of weakness. The correlation between the occurrence of kink-bands …

The cellulose microfibril realignment of unitary flax fibres with contrasted density of structural
defects, which are also known as dislocations and defined as zones of microstructure …

While plant fibers find extensive use across numerous applications, their transverse
behavior and mechanical properties lack direct and fiber-scale characterization, posing a …

The orientation of cellulose microfibrils within plant fibres is one of the main factors
influencing their mechanical properties. As plant fibres are more and more used as …

The creation and ultrastructure of kink-bands in flax fibres are key issues for develo**
more and more performing biobased composite materials. Nevertheless, despite many …

In recent days the rising concern over environmental pollution with excessive use of
synthetic materials has led to various eco-friendly innovations. Due to the organic nature …
