In this research, the hybrid natural fiber composite specimens were fabricated with a 64 wt%
epoxy resin matrix, 20 wt% coir fiber, and 16 wt% of various natural fibers by the hand-layup …

The Himalayan nettle plant can yield strong and long bast fibre. In this study, the extracted
fibres were treated with 3, 5, 7, and 10 wt% alkali solution and characterised the raw and …

In this work we studied the effect of pre-treatment of low-grade flax product (flax tows, FTs)
by cleaning it mechanically from shives and weeds, followed by mercerization with a 5 …
