Fracture toughness, a parameter representing the resistance to fracture and capacity of a
material to absorb impact force or energy, is one of the key performance indicators that need …

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 …

This paper reviews the damping characteristics of plant fiber composites (PFCs) with
particular attention regarding their performance with respect to that of synthetic fiber …

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composite is a much focused area of study owing to its
environmentally friendly nature and good mechanical properties. These composites offer …

Bio-based materials with high-performance are being explored extensively at the moment
for improving the specific properties of reinforced polymer composites and thereby to extend …

To address the weight, cost, and sustainability associated with fibreglass application in
structural composites, plant fibres serve as an alternative to reduce and replace the usage of …

The new Aningeria altissima tannins extracted from ground bark were characterized by ATR-
FT MIR and MALDI-ToF spectrometry. The tannin extracts were found to contain flavonoids …

The aim of this study was to develop and additively manufacture polypropylene-hemp fiber
(PPHF) composites, which were composed of polypropylene (PP) and hemp fibers (HF) in …

Biocomposites based on commercial polylactic acid (PLA) matrix reinforced with three
different short natural fibers (coir, fique and sisal) at 1; 3, and 5% wt, were obtained by …

In an attempt to increase biodiversity in natural plant fiber nonwovens, new sources of
natural fibers must be discovered. Nonwoven fabric is a promising commercial product for …
