This paper provides a comprehensive overview on the properties of electrospun nanofibers
and their application as reinforcements in composites. The paper first introduces the …

The importance of natural fibres over synthetic fibres have gained significant attention in the
research area, due to their higher specific strength, stiffness, lightweight and inexpensive …

Plant fibres, perceived as environmentally sustainable substitutes to E-glass, are
increasingly being employed as reinforcements in polymer matrix composites. However …

This book brings value to anyone working with or designing natural fiber composite
structures. It helps readers understand the value these materials can add to projects, how to …

The flax quality required for composite applications is not yet well established. Retting is one
of the steps that are not well defined for these applications, and is a critical parameter during …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the origin of the diameter-dependence of Young's
modulus in hemp fibres. In view of the considerable experimental difficulties encountered …

Natural-based lignocellulose fibrous materials can be used as a sustainable alternative to
conventional fossil-based fibers such as glass fibers, in lightweight fiber-reinforced …

Rule of mixture models are usually used in the tensile properties prediction of polymer
composites reinforced with synthetic fibres. They are less utilized for natural fibre/polymer …

This paper presents a new micromechanical model for the prediction of the tensile modulus
and strength of natural fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites. The model addresses …

This paper extends an earlier two-part review of bast fibres and their composites. The paper
presents recent statistical models which have been applied to natural fibre reinforcements …
